Apple Tansey

from The Compleat Housewife: or, Accomplished
Gentlewoman's Companion by E. Smith, published in London, 1754.

Instructions:

To make an Apple Tansey,
Take three pippins, slice them round in thin slices, and fry them with butter; then beat four eggs, with six spoonfuls of cream, a little rosewater, nutmeg, and sugar; stir them together, and pour it over the apples; let it fry a little, and turn it with a pye-plate. Garnish with lemon and sugar strew'd over it.
