Scalloped Apples

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Prepare the apples by peeling and slicing them.

  2. In a bowl, combine the sliced apples with water and a little lemon juice.

  3. Layer the apple mixture in a baking dish.

  4. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) until tender.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
