Baked Apples for Children Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Baked Apples for Children Recipe, first take a large earthen jar, and fill it to within three inches of the top with well-wiped apples of any sort in the house. Neither peel them nor remove the stalks. Pour over them, so as to cover them completely, a mixture of treacle or brown sugar and water. If the apples are windfalls, you may allow a little extra sweetening. Put with them some pieces of orange or lemon-peel, and a few cloves. Cover the jar; leave it for three or four hours in a cool oven. If the oven is too hot, the liquid will boil over or evaporate, and the apples be dried up or burnt. Allow one for each person.
