A Simple Susan.
Two cups of fine, dry bread crumbs.
Three cups of chopped apple.
One cup of sugar.
One teaspoonful of mace, and half as much allspice.
Two teaspoonfuls of butter.
One tablespoonful of salt.
Butter a pudding-dish and cover the bottom with crumbs. Lay on these a thick layer of minced apple, sprinkled lightly with salt and spices—more heavily with sugar. Stick bits of butter over all. Then more crumbs, going on in this order until all the ingredients are used up. The top layer should be crumbs. Cover closely, and bake half an hour. Remove the cover and set on the upper grating of the oven until nicely browned. Send to table in the dish in which it was baked.
