Apple Méringue Pudding.

• 1 pint stewed apples.
• 3 eggs—whites and yolks separate.
• ½ cup white sugar, and one teaspoonful butter.
• 1 teaspoonful nutmeg and cinnamon mixed.
• 1 teaspoonful essence bitter almond (for the méringue.)

Sweeten and spice, and, while the apple is still very hot, stir in the butter, and, a little at a time, the yolks. Beat all light, pour into a buttered dish, and bake ten minutes. Cover, without drawing from the oven, with a méringue made of the beaten whites, two tablespoonfuls white sugar, and the bitter almond seasoning. Spread smoothly and quickly, close the oven again, and brown very slightly.

Eat cold, with white sugar sifted over the top, and send around cream to pour over it instead of sauce.
