English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 2189 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Bake five large apples and sieve while hot.
Add half a pound fine sugar and one white, beating for at least two hours over ice until white and stiff enough to support a spoon.
Spoon onto paper or fill small paper boxes, then dry in a low oven.
Remove paper and hold in a warm oven until serving. Makes about forty.
Historical editorial note: The source uses uncooked egg white before drying.
