Take a half pint of raised dough, work into it a large spoonful of shortening, roll out, fold it, and set aside to lighten. When well raised, divide it into six parts and roll them out thin. Have ready six good-sized, tart apples, cored, and the holes filled with sugar and butter; close the dough neatly over the apples, and turn the folded side down in a deep dish. Let them stand till light; then sprinkle sugar, small pieces of butter, and any spice you like, be-twen the apples. Pour one teacupful of water over them, and bake three-fourths of an hour.
Enough oranges for four cups of juice, which must be put on to boil. Grate the peel of four oranges and squeeze the juice into a baking dish; add to this one and a half cups of sugar, the yolks of four eggs, well beaten, one teaspoon-ful of butter, eight tablespoonfuls of corn-starch, mixed in a little cold water or orange juice. Stir all well together, and set the pudding dish on the stove to warm. Add the boiling juice, and stir (with the dish still on the stove) until it is thickened. Bake about half an hour. Make a meringue of the four whites, well thickened with powdered sugar, and put on top of the pudding, returning it to the oven long enough to make it a very light brown.
