*Baking apples: Rome Beauty and Northern Spy are alternatives...6 apples weigh about 4 pounds...serve alone or with hot rum sauce or vanilla ice cream

Hard Sauce: 8T butter, softened; 1t vanilla extract, 1 C unsifted confectioners' sugar
In mixer, cream butter until light. On low speed, add vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Beat until smooth. (1 stick butter)

@I never make a Sauce for my Dumplings. But if I did, it would be a Sauce that you can pour; and it would include some Rum after heating the butter and confectioners' sugar in a saucepan.
