READING WRITING SPELLING MATH STUDY SKILLS stir in the butter or margarine. Allow the mixture to cool while you beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold in 2 large tablespoonfuls of the egg whites into the lemon mixture and pour the filling into the prepared shell. Preheat oven to 300F. Begin beating the egg whites again as you add the 3 remaining tablespoons of the sugar and the cream of tartar. When the sugar is incorporated, lightly spread the meringue over the pie, being sure to bring the meringue right to the crust (if not, the meringue will shrink as it bakes and will not work correctly). Bake the pie for 15 minutes until the meringue is browned. Serves 8-10. (Note: For larger pies, Lois Nelson augments the filling recipes by half) EASIER THAN PIE APPLE CRISP from Marion Freedman, West Bloomfield 12 medium Macintosh apples, peeled, halved and sliced 1/2 cup sugar 1-2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup margarine, softened 1/2 cup sugar Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place apples in a large bowl and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over them. Toss lightly and transfer the apples to the prepared baking dish. Combine the flour, margarine and sugar in a separate bowl and stir together until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and bake for 1 hour or until the apples are cooked through and the topping is browned. The apples shrink when you cook them, so if you want to mound them in a smaller baking dish, the crisp will be "taller." Serves 12. DAY BEFORE APPLE CAKE from Annabel Cohen, Bloomfield Hills 3 cups unbleached flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 4 large eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup orange juice 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg 8 cups peeled Granny Smith apple chunks, 1/2-inch pieces Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9- inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and stir to mix. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Mix in oil, sugars and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture, a little at a time, alternating with the orange juice. Pour half the batter in the prepared pan. Top the batter with half the sliced apples. Sprinkle half the cinna- mon and all the nutmeg over the apples. Top with remaining batter and apples, arranged neatly around the top. Sprinkle the top with the remain- ing cinnamon and a little sugar if desired. Place the pan on a cookie sheet and place in the center of the oven. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely before running a knife around the edge of the pan and removing the sides of the pan. Makes 16 servings.
