Fresh Apple Sauce
Pare, quarter and core about 6 apples; add 1/2 c water and cook quickly till tender. Add a few grains of salt and sugar to taste - about 1/2 c - and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Nutmeg may be grated over if desired.
Method Of Work
The first thing in the morning set the sponge for the rolls, put in a warm place, cover and let rise. By the time breakfast is over, the sponge will be light enough to work down with the flour and rest of the ingredients; knead and set away to rise a second time. Now make the cake and while that is baking make the apple sauce for lunch. By,this time the rolls can be kneaded down again, shaped and placed in the pans for a last rising. By the time the cake is done the rolls will be ready for the oven. Bake about 30 m.
