Baked Apple Dumpling.
1/2 pound flour, 1/4 pound lard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 of yeast powder, enough cold water to make a stiff dough. Roll-out pastry. Cut with biscuit-cutter twice as many pieces as you have apples. Peel and core the apples. Put one round of pastry on one end of the apple. Fill the core-hole with sugar, cinnamon and a piece of butter. Put another round of pastry on so that the edges meet. Bake slowly three-quarters of an hour. This will make nine or ten dumplings.
Apple Pudding.
Boil 6 tart apples, after paring them as for sauce, remove from fire, sweeten a little. Add a lump of butter, 1 cup cracker crumbs, stirred in 1 cup milk, yolks of 4 eggs, keeping whites for frosting, with 1/2 cup sugar. Serve with hard sauce.
Apple Soufflé.
1 pint steamed apples, 1 tablespoon melted butter, half a cup of sugar, whites of 6 eggs, yolks of 3, and a slight grating of nutmeg. Stir into the hot apple the butter, sugar and nutmeg and yolks of eggs, well-heated. When this is cold, add the well-beaten whites to the mixture. Butter a 3-pint dish and turn the soufflé into it. Bake thirty minutes in a hot oven. Serve immediately, with any kind of sauce.
Apple Pan-dowdy.

Apple Sago Pudding.
Pare and core the apples, put sugar and cinnamon in the holes. Take as many tablespoons of sago as you have apples. Mix it with a little cold water and turn in as much boiling water as will fill the dish. Stir till it thickens, then cover up for two hours, and let it thoroughly swell, then pour it over the apples, and bake about three hours. Sugar and cream for sauce.
