  1. Prepare a meringue of three eggs, as No. 711.
  2. When the meringue is hard, cover the apples with it half an inch thick, keeping the pyramid shape.
  3. Put the remainder of the meringue in a paper cornet.
  4. Cut the point of the cornet so that by pressing it, the mixture may go out by degrees.
  5. Use the meringue from the cornet to make various designs, according to fancy.
  6. Sugar over the designs.
  7. Bake in a very slow oven for half an hour. The color should be pale yellow.
  8. Alternatively, to keep it quite white, bake in a still slower oven for an additional quarter of an hour.
  9. When baking for a white finish, make dots all over, about a quarter of an inch distant from each other, the size of small nuts.
  10. Sugar over these dots.
  11. Place a Corinth raisin in each knob.
  12. Bake as directed.
  13. When the eggs are just set, cover the flanc with a sheet of paper to prevent it from taking too much color.

710. Flanc Meringue of Apple.—Sometimes I make a meringue of three eggs, as No. 711; when it is hard I cover the apples with it half an inch thick, keeping the pyramid; then I put the remainder in a paper cornet; cut the point so that by pressing it the mixture may go out by degrees, with which I make various designs, according to fancy, sugar over, and put for half an hour to bake in a very slow oven; the color ought to be pale yellow; they are equally good hot or cold. If you would keep it quite white, bake it in a still slower oven, and give it a quarter of an hour longer. When I do it so, I merely make dots all over, about a quarter of an inch distant from each other, of the size of small nuts, sugar over, and put a Corinth raisin in each knob, which gives it a good appearance, and bake as directed; when the eggs are just set, you may cover it with a sheet of paper, to prevent it taking too much color.
