Season to taste with lemon, rose or vanilla.

fill the centre of each apple with jelly. Make an icing of the whites of eggs,
beaten with sifted sugar, and carefully cover each apple with it, wetting the
knife while smoothing the icing. Sift a little sugar over them and put them in
the oven to harden, but not to brown; too much heat will cause the jelly to
melt.
