Updated: May 15, 2025

Apple postilla is also made by peeling the apples and taking out the cores after they are baked, sweetening with sugar, and beating it up with a wooden spoon till it is all of a froth. Then put it on two trays, and bake it for two hours in an oven moderately hot. After this another layer of the beaten apples is added, and pounded loaf sugar spread over.

Bake codlins, or any other sour apples, but without burning them; pulp them through a sieve into a bowl, and beat them for four hours.
