Apple Snow. (No. 1.) Maltese Cross
6 fine pippins.
2 cups powdered sugar.
1 lemon—juice and half the grated peel.
1 pint of milk for custard.
4 eggs.
Make a good custard of the milk, one cup of sugar and the yolks. Bake the apples, cores, skins and all, in a covered dish with a little water in the bottom to prevent burning. The apples should be so tender that a straw will pierce them. Take off the skins and scrape out the pulp. Mix in the sugar and lemon. Whip the whites of the eggs light, and beat in the pulp by degrees until very white and firm. Put the custard, when cold, into the bottom of a glass bowl and pile the snow upon it.
