The Progress Meatless Cook Book
Lotta M. Lake

Baked Apples No. 1
2 quarts sliced apples
1/4 tsp soda
1/2 cupful sugar
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Peel and slice apples that are rather tart, and put the two quarts in an earthen baking dish, stone jar or bean pot; mix all the other ingredients thoroughly, adding a little at a time to the apples in the dish, shaking the dish frequently to mix the contents. Bake slowly for five or six hours.
Did we eat it? Some of it.
Would I make it again? No.
Notes: When I make applesauce I don’t usually add sugar. This was very sweet. If I did it again, I would skip the sugar.
