The author or "Little Women" was so fond of this New England dessert that she named her house in Concord, Mass.-Apple Slump.
Combine apple slices, sugar, cinnamon and water in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat to the boiling point. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Dropdough from a tablespoon onto apple mixture. Cover tightly and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes. Serve warm with New England Nutmeg Sauce (to follow) or rich cream. This dessert can be made with various fresh or frozen berries too.
