Place in a steamer or on the rack, in a casserole or oven cooker, COD- taining water below. Cover and steam gently till tender, or cook in the oven till tender.
Remove dish from oven or steam- er, leave apples till cold, then lift into a cut-crystal dish. Stick them evenly all over with blanched, split almonds. Fill centres with chopped marsh-mallow.

Drain juice from apples into saucepan.. Add syrup to the juice from the apples to make a cupful of sauce. Turn into a saucepan. Add butter and sugar. Stir till boiling. Boil till thick."
