_Charlotte_, from rennet apples first did frame
_A pie_, which still retains her name.
Though common grown, yet with white sugar stewed,
And butter'd right, its goodness is allowed.
KING.
Pare, core, and mince fifteen French rennet apples; put them into a
frying-pan with some powdered loaf sugar, a little pounded cinnamon,
grated lemon-peel, and two ounces and a half of fresh butter; fry them a
quarter of an hour over a quick fire, stirring them constantly. Butter
the shape the size the Charlotte is intended to be; cut strips of bread
long enough to reach from the bottom to the rim of the shape, so that
the whole be lined with bread; dip each bit into melted butter, and put
a layer of fried apples, and one of apricot jam or marmalade, and then
one of bread dipped into butter; begin and finish with it. Bake it in an
oven for an hour. Turn it out to serve.
