Applemoyse
Introduction:
This entry is a re-creation of a recipe from A Proper New Booke of Cookery, entitled "Applemoyse". It is served primarily as a dessert. It is an Apple pudding served in a bowl. Recently we were graced with a large bag of apples that Dan and Ginger picked off their tree and I figured this was a good opportunity to try this recipe. Our daughter, Cate, liked it so much she went back for another big helping.
Original:

Recipes:
Applemoyse, or Applemuse, was a common recipe in Medieval Europe. It was also found in England, France, and Italy.
While interpreting this recipe, I also considered the following recipes from Two Fifteenth Century Cookbooks, 1430/1450, The Neapolitan Recipe Collection, and The Vivendier: A Fifteenth-Century French Cookery Manuscript.
The recipes in Two Fifteenth Century Cookbooks and The Neapolitan Recipe Collection call for Almond Milk and Honey. I plan to try those variations in the near future.
