Apple Torte
What's Cooking
Break up a meeting with this apple torte
Ladies getting together at your house to
plan the year's agenda? Serve this crusty
apple torte—it's not too sweet for a morn-
ing or afternoon meeting, but becomes a
lavish dessert with the addition of vanilla
ice cream.
Ingredients: 4 Tbs. soft butter, 1 cup
sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup flour, 1 t. cinnamon,
½ t. baking powder, ¼ t. soda, ⅛ t. salt.
3 peeled, cored apples cut in lengthwise
slices ⅛″ thick. Cream together butter and
sugar. Add egg and beat until light and
fluffy. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking
powder, soda and salt, and beat in thor-
oughly. Stir apples into batter, which will
be thick and hard to stir. Turn into but-
tered 9″ pan and spread smooth. Bake at
350° 1 hour. Cool and cut into wedges.
Serve warm. Six servings.

## Editor's Notes
- **"Pres. & Sis. Kimball"** — "Pres." is an abbreviation for "President" and "Sis." for "Sister," titles consistent with LDS (Latter-day Saint) church usage. This likely refers to Spencer W. Kimball and his wife Camilla, who served as LDS Church President from 1973–1985.
- **Egg preparation** — The 2 hard boiled eggs are listed as ingredients but no instruction is given for how they are incorporated (sliced, chopped, layered whole, etc.). The instruction to layer all ingredients in the dish is assumed to include them. Readers may wish to slice or chop them before layering. -

# Jello Dessert
## Ingredients
- 1 large package strawberry Jell-O
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 1 large can (14 oz) evaporated milk, chilled until still but not frozen
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
- Grated (fine) rind of 1 1/2 lemons
- 12–15 graham crackers, crushed fine
## Instructions
1. Dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 2 cups boiling water. Add 1 1/2 cups cold water. Let set until clabbery (partially gelled).
2. Chill the evaporated milk until very cold but not frozen, so it will whip. Whip until stiff, then add the sugar and the juice and grated rind of 1 1/2 lemons.
3. Whip the partially set Jell-O until foamy, then fold in the whipped milk mixture.
4. Crush the graham crackers until fine. Sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs into a 10x14 pan.
5. Pour the Jell-O mixture over the crumb layer, then sprinkle the remaining cracker crumbs over the top.
6. Chill overnight or longer before serving.
## Editor's Notes
- **"clabbery"** — a period term meaning partially set or thickened, used to describe Jell-O at the soft-gel stage, similar to a loose pudding consistency. Equivalent to "slightly thickened" or "syrupy" in modern recipe language. -
