9 apples. 1/2 cup sugar. Bread 2 days old. Grated peel of 1/2 lemon. Juice of lemon. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 1 teacup water.

Core and slice the apples, without peeling. Put them in a saucepan with the grated peel of half a lemon, 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, the juice of 1 lemon and 1 cup of water. When soft rub through colander to remove skins. Butter a 3-pt. mould (or bread pan), cut very thin slices of bread, remove crusts, dip in melted butter. Fit these into the mould, allowing their edges to overlap a little. Line sides the same way. Fill with apple sauce. Cover with thin slices of bread and bake 3/4 of an hour. Turn out on a platter, laying the platter on the mould and then inverting it. Cream may be served with it. Very delicious.
