Scalloped Apples
1 small baker's stale loaf
1/4 cup butter
1 quart sliced apples
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
Cut loaf in halves, remove soft part, and crumb by rubbing through a colander; melt butter and stir in lightly with fork; cover bottom of buttered pudding-dish with crumbs and spread over one-half the apples, sprinkle with one-half sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, and rind mixed together; repeat cover with remaining crumbs, and bake forty minutes in moderate oven. Cover at first to prevent crumbs browning too rapidly. Serve with sugar and cream.
Bread Pudding
2 cups stale bread crumbs
1 quart scalded milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla or
