2 cups stewed apple - a pint. 1 cup sugar - 1/2 pound.

1 cup milk.

1/2 cup butter - 1/4 pound 4 eggs (or 8 yolks if any left over) 1/2 cup sherry or nutmeg or lemon flavoring.

Have the apples dry by cooking with scarcely any water but the steam shut in, mix apples, sugar and butter together and milk and eggs together, stir up all and flavor. Make 5 cupfuls, enough for 4 pies large family size to cut in 6 or 8, like a custard with no top crust. Cost, with wine 31 cents, without wine 25; crust for 4 pies 8 cents.
