Apple Tapioca

Ingredients

• ¾ cup pearl tapioca or ½ cup minute (instant) tapioca
• 2 cups boiling water
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 apples
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter

Steps

1. 1

   If pearl tapioca is used, soak it for 4 or 5 hours and then drain off all the water. Minute tapioca will need no soaking. Add the tapioca to the boiling water and salt.

2. 2

   Cook in a double boiler until the tapioca is entirely transparent.

3. 3

   Peel and core the apples. Place them in a buttered baking dish, fill each cavity with sugar and cinnamon, and place a piece of butter on top of each.

4. 4

   Pour the hot tapioca over these, place in a hot oven, and bake until the apples are soft.

5. 5

   Serve either hot or cold with sugar and cream.
