Parsonswife...I used your recipe for 'Possum Pie' and it was delicious. My daughter tells me this recipe is called 'Chocolate Yummy' here.

Apple dumplings:

Per dumpling,

1 apple--Northern Spy or some good baking variety, cored and the top 1/3 peeled
2 tsp. fresh grated ginger
real maple syrup
tiny sprinkle salt
raisins or walnuts or both

1/3 of a good pie crust recipe. Or cheat and use defrosted puff pastry dough.

Put a rolled-out triangle of piecrust in a big muffin cup or on a pie pan. Set the apple in the middle of the triangle, then put the ginger, syrup, raisins, sprinkle salt in the middle. Fold the ends of the triangle over the top of the apple and brush with beaten egg to make it stick. If you want you can sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar, but that part is optional. Make as many as you think you can eat, times two, and bake at 375 until nicely browned and the syrup and apple juice are oozing out. Or until the husband says, "What are you making, I could smell it upstairs?" Whichever comes first.

Whip in a separate bowl:
1/4 c. Real whipping cream
1/4 ricotta cheese
1 tsp. cinnamon
fresh grated nutmeg
2 tbsp. (or more, to taste) powdered sugar

till fluffy. Dollop generously on baked dumplings. For grownup apple dumplings, feel free to add a splash of Calvados, rum, Frangelico...You know, taste-test until you get it right...

I have made cakes this this and they are so scrumptious without all of the guilt. I also made this kind of cake with my preschool class as a science project, a project we could eat!
But to stretch this even further I was told that you can throw some frozen berries in the bottom of the pan and pour the batter over them to make a sort of cobbler. YUM!!
