Two cups of tart cooking apples, chopped, a cup and a half of stale
bread crumbs--bakers' bread is the best; four heaping tablespoonfuls of
sugar, one generous tablespoonful of butter, and the grated rind of one
lemon. Butter a pudding dish, divide the ingredients into four layers,
beginning with apples and finishing with bread crumbs. Sprinkle the
sugar and lemon over the apples and cut the butter into tiny lumps and
scatter over the crumbs. Bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate
oven. Serve with cream or hard sauce.
