Apple Charlotte Recipe

One scant pint of apples, steamed, and rubbed through a sieve; one- third of a box of gelatine, soaked an hour in one-third of a cupful of cold water; one cupful of sugar, the juice of a large lemon, the whites of three eggs. Pour half a cupful of boiling water upon the gelatine, stir until thoroughly dissolved, and pour upon the apple; then add the sugar and lemon juice. Place in a basin of ice water, and beat until it begins to thicken. Add the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth. Pour into a two-quart mould, which has been lined with sponge cake, and put on ice to harden. Make a soft custard of the yolks of the eggs, one pint of milk and three table-spoonfuls of sugar. When the charlotte is turned out on a dish, pour this around.
