apple dumpling sauce

Isn't it funny how we can each name the same dish that we grew up loving but, if we were to make it and set it on a table with others known by the same name , it would probably be entirely different in taste. For example, apple dumplings. Growing up ours were always encased in squares of pie dough and the hollow in the apple was filled with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Mother made a cinnamon and water and sugar base she poured around them and baked them in the oven. When it was time to eat them they were put in a bowl and we poured milk over them. When I got married, my mother-in-law baked hers in a pan with no liquid and she served them with a warm, thin vanilla sauce that was scrumptious (at least to my husband, our four children and me) and I've made them that way ever since. Any sauce left over I would put in the frig and serve it the next day on top of Wacky cake. If you'd like to try it it's as follows:
Stir together..............................1 cup of sugar and 4 Tblsp. flour
Stir in and mix
thoroughly................................ 1 egg, slightly beaten and 1 qt. of milk
Cook, stirring constatntly on low fire till bubbly and slightly thick. (This will be very pourable)
Add: ........................................1 tsp. vanilla
Enjoy!

We used to make "wacky cake" by dumping all the ingredients in a square cake pan, stir them together with a fork until smooth and then bake. When I was a young girl (and I mean young because we lived on a farm and everybody worked!) this was my "go to" recipe!

I had apple dumplings the same as you Wonnie but my mom cut the apples up in cubes or chunks then sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over them, then wrapped the pie dough around them. That was our dinner; no meat and veggies that night; I LOVED it Still do just not as often. Thanks for the walk back in time.
