APPLE SPONGE PUDDING

Pare eight apples and cut off the tops carefully, so as to be able to use them as covers to the apples.

Now scrape out the inside with a knife, being careful not to break the apple.

Mix the scrapings with sugar, raisins, cinnamon, pounded almonds and a little white wine.

Fill this mixture into the hollow of the apple and clap on a cover for each apple; then grease a pudding dish, lay in the apples and stew them for a few minutes, but not long enough to break them.

Make a sponge cake batter of eight eggs and two scant cups of sugar and a pinch of salt and add the grated peel of a lemon and beat until thick, at least half an hour.

Fold in a cup of matzoth flour, sifted very fine.

Pour this batter over the apples and bake in a moderate oven.

Serve with wine sauce.

Half this quantity is sufficient for a small family.
