Our quilting group decided to get together for an afternoon of canasta at Dorothy's recently. After having several days of really beautiful Indian Summer days, we woke up to rain in the early morning hours. The forecast had been for early rain and temperatures in the higher 60s. But with only a couple of hours of that glorious sun midmorning, the clouds moved back in and so it was a perfect afternoon to just stay in with friends and play cards.
If you follow my blog, you know that I love to play games. You also know I enjoy winning. Well, the last two or three times we have played, I have not been on the winning team. So "winning" was definitely on my mind that morning when I was getting ready to go.
I make a big deal out of whether I win or not, but I have to admit, winning or losing, we always have a fun afternoon when we gather. We also always have dessert....a good dessert. And this time was no different. And as usual Dorothy was prepared for me. She knows I usually will just take a picture of the recipe. Well, this apparently is a favorite recipe of hers by the looks of her recipe card. Sweet Dorothy had rewritten the recipe on another card for me to take a picture of because she hated for me to have to take a picture of her "well-worn" card.
The Raw Apple Dessert was the perfect conclusion for the afternoon. I know it is one I will have to make sometime soon.

1/4 cup butter or margarine

Prepare the sauce:

Oh, btw, we won by quite a bit, but they were gracious losers.
