1 pint stewed apples.
3 eggs—whites and yolks separate.
½ cup white sugar, and one teaspoonful butter.
1 teaspoonful nutmeg and cinnamon mixed.
1 teaspoonful essence bitter almond (for the méringue.)
Sweeten and spice, and, while the apple is still very hot, stir in the
butter, and, a little at a time, the yolks. Beat all light, pour into
a buttered dish, and bake ten minutes. Cover, without drawing from the
oven, with a méringue made of the beaten whites, two tablespoonfuls
white sugar, and the bitter almond seasoning. Spread smoothly and
quickly, close the oven again, and brown very slightly.
Eat cold, with white sugar sifted over the top, and send around cream
to pour over it instead of sauce.
