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!!!)

This is the wrong move and thing to empathize as the health care roll back helps the republicans and they know if things stay as they are they will lose even worse in the mid terms. The thing the democrats need to fight for is stopping tRump from just playing with the money like congress doesn’t matter. He spends money on what he wants without congress approval and stops money congress already approved of by law. He has to be made to stop being a dictator and use the system we had before the republicans became the cult of Trump. Shut the government down if need be, then message like hell that they republicans are at fault. Oh and the car died on the road yesterday and that was traumatic and I have another doctors appointment today. Hugs
