BAKED APPLES.

Wash, and core sour apples. Place them in earthen or granite dish and fill the center of each apple with sugar. Measure one tablespoonful of water for each apple and pour around the apples (not over, as you should not disturb the sugar in apple centers). Bake until tender, remove apples to the dish in which they will be served at table. Strain the juice, add one third cupful of sugar. Cook five minutes, and pour it over the apples, let cool, and serve with cream.
