The recipe sounds delicious but can Mrs Bates be referring to baking apples as we understand it today?She says they only have them baked twice although Mr Woodhouse recommends baking three times. I wonder if this is more like drying the apples for preservation? Frank Churchill is described as picking out the best baked apple for Emma and from the context they’re a snack probably eaten with the fingers.
Thanks for the information. I was wondering why Patty couldn’t bake the apples at home for the ladies.
That sounds very tasty and wonderful.
I think I will try this out on my friends visit this weekend.
Love,
Yolanthe
