Baked Spiced Apples
6 apples
30 cloves
2 cups water
2⁄3 cup sugar
6 slices lemon
Pare the apples, remove the cores and stick five whole cloves into each apple. Make a syrup of the water and sugar. Put the apples into a pudding dish, pour the syrup over them, and place a slice of lemon over the top of each. Bake them in a slow insulated oven for one hour with the stones heated until the paper test shows a light brown.
