Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Wipe the apples dry and clean.

  3. Place a very little water in the bottom of a baking dish.

  4. Arrange the apples in the dish.

Bake

  1. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of apples used.
