On a floured board, roll out each piece of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place an apple on each part. Fill hollow with 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon butter, dab of apple jelly. Fold dough over the apple, pressing the edges together. Place dumplings on a baking pan and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Just cover it tightly and simmer for 1 hour. 4 T butter 1/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar 2 cups pared, cored, and sliced fresh apples 3/4 cup chopped walnuts 1 egg 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup milk 1/8 t salt 1 t baking powder 1 cup all-purpose flour Whipped cream or ice cream Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

You can also put the whole mixture in one large mold, too. Maybe a ring mold? I don't know how that would affect the cooking time.

In a saucepan, combine the syrup and water. Bring to a boil and simmer 3 minutes. Add the apples and cover. Simmer until the apples are tender but not mushy, 3 to 8 minutes. With slotted spoon, lift the apples onto individual dessert dihes or plates. Boil syrup until reduced to 3/4 cup. Pour syrup into a measuring cup. melt butter in the saucepan. Blend in the flour, cream and the syrup. Boil, uncovered, until reduced to 1 cup, about 3 minutes.

Watch them VERY carefully while cooking; it just takes minutes. This dessert is delicious and beatiful when you serve one whole apple on a plate surrounded with the maple-and-cream sauce.

While I hate to add to the sugar overload, another favorite recipe is this one, for what Mother always called "Pecan Tassies": CRUST: 1 cup flour 1 stick butter (at room temperature) 3 oz. cream cheese (at room temperature) FILLING: 1 cup brown sugar 1 Tbsp butter 1 egg, well-beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup chopped pecans For the crust, work flour into butter and cream cheese. Chill for one hour. Roll into pecan-size balls. Press dough into "jewel" tins (tiny muffin tins, with cups about 1-3/4 inch across) to make little crust cups. Beat together the filling ingredients and spoon the filling into the crusts, filling each one from one-half to two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. These are incredibly rich, but will disappear in a flash anyway. Make twice as many as you think people will eat. ----- Russell King ************************* Anne would you believe I vividly remember my Grandmother's Persimmon Pudding, Date Pudding as well as Pumpkin Nut Bread.

Bob Hogan ----- ************************************** I should have tacked a P.S. on that one - if you don't want to fool with the pastry, buy wonton wrappers. Put the filling off to one side and wet edges, then fold diagonally.

Mini-cheesecakes Easy to make Makes about 24-30 3 pkgs cream cheese 5 eggs 1 cup sugar 1½ teas vanilla vanilla wafers Cream sugar and cheese together then add eggs one at a time allowing to mix before adding next egg. Add vanilla. Put paper cupcake things in muffin pan, put vanilla wafer in bottom of each one then pour mixture 2/3 in each one. Bake at 300 for 30 minutes then cool slightly (tops will depress a bit) 1 cup sour cream ½ cup sugar ½ teas vanilla jam (strawberry, cherry, grape or favorite) Mix sour cream and sugar, add vanilla. Pour on top of each cheesecake then put a dollop of jam in center and bake for 5 minutes more. Refrigerate or freeze. Can be eaten once cold. Can be made up days in advance and frozen until needed. I have modified the topping by adding cherry extract and red food coloring and dropping cherry jam in center. I'm sure you could have success with using almond extract, orange extract etc. and different jams/jellies. This one always goes over great wherever I take it and you can make these up days in advance and freeze them.
