🥘 Ingredients
1/2 lb. of apple pulp, 1/4 lb. of sifted sugar, 1/4 lb. of butter, 4 eggs, the rind and juice of 1 lemon.
👨🍳 Method
Pare, core, and boil sufficient apples to make 1/2 lb. when cooked; add to these the sugar, the butter, which should be melted; the eggs, leaving out 2 of the whites, and take grated rind and juice of 1 lemon; stir the mixture well; line some patty-pans with puff-paste, put in the mixture, and bake about 20 minutes.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried these Apple Cheesecakes the other night when I wanted something different for after-dinner treats. I had been expecting a dense, heavy dessert, but was surprised by the light, tangy flavor from the lemon zest and juice. The lemon really cut through the richness of the butter and eggs, making each bite refreshing. I used my muffin tin for the patty-pans, and they came out perfectly portioned for a small indulgence. These would be a delight for the modern comfort-seeker looking for a retro treat. The recipe is simple enough for a weeknight, but feels special enough for a dessert course. I found that using a food processor made quick work of the apple pulp, and I'll definitely be making these again when I have some extra apples on hand. The combination of sweet and tart, with a crisp puff-paste crust, is a winner.
