The latter from a 1940s margarine ad.
The apple recipe appeared in ads for margarine in the 1940s–this from the October 9, 1947 edition of the Syracuse Herald-Journal:

Recipe That’s Healthy, Wealthy And Wise… a way to serve that apple a day, a rich harvest of flavor and a nutritious dessert! Note that it’s made with Allsweet… which is fortified with at least 15,000 units of vitamin A and contains important food energy!
Apples Baked in Lemon Custard
Wash and core apples; place in a small baking dish. Bake in moderate oven (350 deg. F.) 20 minutes. Separate egg. Beat white until stiff and add yolk. Beat well. Add Allsweet. Pour over apples and continue baking until apples are tender (about 10 minutes longer). Serve hot. You’ll agree that Allsweet compliments this delicious dessert… just as it “dresses up” breads of all kinds at the table! That’s because the flavor of this famous margarine is delicately natural… never a hint of artificial flavoring. Use it in your cooking… and above all put generous pats of it on the table. |
