Take half a dozen tart mellow apples--pare and quarter them, and take
out the cores. Put them in a pan, with half a tea-cup of water--set them
on a few coals. When they begin to grow soft, turn them into a pudding
dish, sprinkle sugar on them. Beat eight eggs with rolled brown
sugar--mix them with three pints of milk, grate in half a nutmeg, and
turn the whole over the apples. Bake the custard between twenty and
thirty minutes.
