When apples are baked in a covered earthen dish or casserole flavor and appearance are at their best. Fare and core the apples, sprinkle them with sugar and a little powdered clcves and cinnamon. Add a little water, cover the dish, and hake a long time in a slow oven. The apples cook to a deep red, and are very tender and rich in flavor. Honey is a desirable addi- ■ tion to baked apples. Wipe or peel the apples, and remove the core without running the knife clear through. Into this hollow put a bit of butter and a teaspoonfnl of honey, and bake after the ordinary manner. Baked Apples in Jelly. — Peel, core and quarter a quart of apples, add half a cupful of water and tliree- fourths cupful of sugar, put in a cov- ered earthen dish and cook three to four hours in a slow oven, when they should be dark red in color.
