MMMMM-------------------------HARD SAUCE------------------------------
   1/2 c  Butter; soft
     1 ts Vanilla
 1 1/4 c  Powdered sugar

 Make your favorite apple pie pastry (2 crust or enough for 6 apples).
 Form pastry into a flat 8" round; wrap in wax paper; refrigerate. In
 small bowl, combine 3 tb butter, sugar, dark raisins, chopped
 walnuts, and cinnamon; blend with fork.

 Core and pare apples and brush with lemon juice. Using spoon fill
 hollows of apples with raisin-walnut mixture. Preheat oven to 425 F.
 Grease well a shallow baking pan, 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 1". On lightly
 floured pastry cloth or floured surface, divide pastry evenly into
 6ths.

 Roll each section large enough to cover apple, about 8-1/2" square.
 Place apple in center and bring each corner of square to top of
 apple; pinch edges of pastry together firmly to cover apple
 completely.

 Arrange in pan. Brush with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tb water. Bake,
 brushing once with juices in pan, 40 minutes or until pastry is
 browned and apples are tender when tested with a wooden pick.

 With broad spatula remove dumplings to serving dishes. Serve warm
 with hard sauce.

 Hard Sauce:

 In medium bowl, using portable electric beater, cream butter until
 light in color. At low speed add vanilla and powdered sugar; beat
 until smooth.
