Sponge Apple Pudding.

4 large apples.

1/2 pint of flour.

1 gill of sugar.

1 gill of milk.

1 egg.

1 teaspoonful of baking powder.

1/4 teaspoonful of salt.

Have the apples pared and sliced. Beat the egg until light; then add the sugar, and beat five minutes longer. Now add the milk, and finally the flour, with which should be mixed the baking powder. Beat the batter, and pour it into a well buttered pudding dish that will hold about a quart. Cover with the apples, and bake in a moderately hot oven for about forty minutes. Serve with a hot liquid sauce.
