Bake at 350° F. (moderate oven) until apples are tender—about 40 minutes.
Cool before cutting to serve.
Serve with plain cream or ice cream, if desired.
Six servings.
Dessert apple slices
Slice pared apple quarters. Put slices into pan and add enough water to half cover apples. Add a few grains of salt and 2 to 4 tablespoons of sugar for each apple used. Put the cover on and cook gently until apples are tender—20 to 30 minutes. Serve chilled, plain or with cream. Or, bake some of the drained slices in custard ([p. 15]).
