   Pumpkin underwear … yeah, my first mental picture wasn’t a pretty one.
   Actually…the second one isn’t any better.

   Here is a link to a pumpkin fudge recipe.

   Pumpkin fudge must be relatively new on the cooking scene, as not one of my older cookbooks mention it.I did find some Pillsbury Flour recipes for pumpkin cookies and bars which I had never heard of either.

   It’s “National Apple Dumpling Day” today. I’m posting this as a break from everything pumpkin.

   APPLE DUMPLINGS (Credited to: Irma Weber)
   
   1 egg
   2/3 cup milk (whole)
   2 1/2 cups sifted flour
   2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   6 apples
   Cinnamon and sugar
   6 tablespoons butter
   {Note from me: It’s not clear in the recipe, but the brown sugar and butter below are to be used as the topping. The “dotting” butter is from the six tablespoons.}
   1/2 cup brown sugar
   1/2 cup butter
   
   Mix egg and milk together in a bowl and sift in flour, baking powder, and salt.
   Stir to make a soft dough.
   Turn out on floured board and knead lightly.
   Roll and cut in 6 squares.
   Place in centers a peeled, cored apple that has been quartered.
   Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, dot with butter, and bring up corners of dough to enclose apple.
   Pinch and seal.
   Place dumplings in a large pan, not touching.
   Bake at 425° for 10 minutes, then at 350° for 45 minutes.
   Test by pricking with toothpick and, if apples are tender, they are done.
   Sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon.
   Cream brown sugar and butter, add flavoring if desired and spoon on hot dumplings when served. 6 servings.

   Most pumpkin beer is over-flavored, but some of it is OK.

    I love it!!!
    @SUSAN NEWMAN – I agree about Chocolate Season. And it is so easy to indulge any day of the year.
    @Alexikakos – my husband makes pumpkin fudge every year and it is very good. (not as good as chocolate, though)

    Katy’s a bit young to be discussing edible lingerie…
    And pumpkin-flavored underwear? I don’t think so…
