Apple Tapioca Dessert
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 thick orange slice with rind
2 cups cut (eighths) peeled apples
1/3 cup quick tapioca
Thin cream or maple syrup
Combine sugar, salt, and water in a saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil, and boil three minutes. Remove from heat, add the orange slice, cover and let stand while the apples are peeled and cut. Add apples to the hot syrup, cover again, and cook gently over low flame until apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove apple sections as they are done and arrange in an oven dish. Cut the orange slice into pieces and add to the apples. Stir tapioca into the hot syrup. Boil gently, stirring, until the tapioca clears slightly, about three minutes.
Do not overcook; the mixture will thicken on cooling. Remove from heat, cool a few minutes, then pour over apples and orange. Cool, then chill an hour. Can be served plain or with cream or maple syrup. Serves six.
