Apple meringue pudding recipe

for this apple meringue pudding recipe you will need:

• Two quarts of pared and quartered apples,
• a lemon,
• two cupfuls of granulated sugar and
• six table-spoonfuls of powdered,
• six eggs,
• one quart of milk,
• three teaspoonfuls of corn-starch.

Pare the thin yellow rind off of the lemon, being careful not to cut into the white part, and put it in a saucepan with one and two-thirds cupfuls of the granulated sugar. Boil ten minutes; then put in the apples and juice of the lemon. Cover, and simmer half an hour. The apples should be tender, but not much broken. Take them up, and boil the syrup until thick. When it is reduced enough, pour it over the apples, and put these away to cool. Make the sauce and finish the pudding the same as for peach meringue, flavoring the sauce, however, with extract of lemon.
