Ingredients

• 9 slice bread and butter, about 6 good-sized apples
• 1 tablespoonful minced lemon-peel
• 2 tablespoonful juice
• moist sugar to taste

Instructions

1. Butter a pie-dish;
2. place a layer of bread and butter, without the crust, at the bottom;
3. then a layer of apples, pared, cored, and cut into thin slices;
4. sprinkle over these a portion of the lemon-peel and juice, and sweeten with moist sugar.
5. Place another layer of bread and butter, and then one of apples, proceeding in this manner until the dish is full;
6. then cover it up with the peel of the apples, to preserve the top from browning or burning;
