Karen'??s Corner: Baked Apple Dumplings

y Karen D. Fyke
I thought I knew what apple dumplings were, but these found in a 1911 cookbook are different.

1 pint apple sauce
2 C flour
1½ t baking powder
1 t salt
2 T butter
Milk

Fill muffin tins half full of apple sauce. Sift together the dry ingredients, work in butter, and add enough milk to make a soft batter. Fill the muffin tins with the batter, and bake in a quick oven. Serve with cream or hard sauce. (A “quick oven” is about 400°.)

Hard Sauce:
1 C powdered sugar
¼ C butter
1 t vanilla
1 t brandy

Beat all together till creamy, and pile on a glass plate.
