Make a baking-powder biscuit dough (see rule) and
spread it in an oblong pan having the dough about
2 inches thick. The pan should be greased
slightly. Peel and core and cut in quarters 2
large apples. Slice these thin, and place on the
dough in rows, each slice held in place by
pressing it down into the dough a little. The
slices should be near together. Sprinkle 3/4 of a
cup of sugar over the top, add small pieces of
butter and a little grated nutmeg. Bake in a
reflector oven in front of hot fire until the
apples are soft--about 1/2 hour.
