Make a mincemeat by chopping finely eight medium-sized apples, half a pound each of raisins, currants, and sugar, a little citron peel, two or three cloves, and a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon.

Cut some good puff paste into little triangles and fill with the mince, turning the corners of the paste over it so as to make little puffs. Place these closely together on a buttered baking-dish until it is full. Now mix an ounce of melted butter with a teacupful of thick syrup flavored with essence of lemon, and pour it over the puffs. Bake until done in a rather slow oven.
