were we? I did, anyway. I received the video recipe below from Wendy The Druid (who does the LBGTQ+ history posts) today. Enjoy-I’m always there for hard sauce on spiced tart apples! Video and transcript on the Substack page; you need not subscribe to see.

Apple Mystery Dessert
Dessert:
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 ½ tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
Dash mace (I used nutmeg instead)
Dash cinnamon
1 ½ tsps vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups chopped, peeled tart apples
¾ cup chopped walnuts
Cinnamon Hard Sauce:
¼ cup margarine or butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
Dash salt
1 Tbs milk
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Heat oven to 350° F. Grease 9-inch pie pan. In large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, mace (or nutmeg), and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in vanilla and eggs; blend well. Add apples and walnuts; mix well. Pour into greased pan.
Bake at 350° F for 20 to 30 minutes or until browned and firm to the touch.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine all hard sauce ingredients. Beat at high speed until well blended. Shape into 2-inch-thick roll or spread into butter molds (you may have to refrigerate the hard sauce before you’re able to roll it). Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm.
When serving, top each serving of dessert with slice or mold of hard sauce. The hard sauce will melt on top of the warm dessert.
(snip but YUM though!!!)
