How To Make Apple Gateau

1 pound of apples

1/2 lemon's juice and rind

2 tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatin

2 ounces of candied cherries

1/2 pint of water

4 tablespoonfuls of sugar

1/2 pint of cream

2 ounces pistachio nuts or almonds

Core the apples, cut them into slices, put them in a stewing pan with the water, juice and rind of the lemon and the sugar; cover and cook for fifteen minutes. Cover the gelatin with four tablespoonfuls of cold water, and soak ten minutes; add it to the hot apples and press through a sieve; pour the mixture into a border mold that has been dipped in cold water, and stand aside to cool. At serving time, dip the mold quickly in hot water, and turn the pudding on a round dish. Whip the cream to a stiff froth, put it in the center of the mold and garnish the top with the cherries and the nuts that have been blanched and chopped.
