Pare, core and cut apples that are not too sour, in rings one-half inch thick. Sprinkle them with lemon juice. Make a syrup by cooking one cup sugar with one cup water, ten minutes. Drop in three or four Cassia buds or pieces of stick cinnamon. Cook three or four apple rings at a time in syrup until soft, turning often to preserve their shape. Drain and arrange them around roast loin of pork. The syrup may be used for stewing apples or prunes.
