How to Make Apple Mystery Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 3 cups peeled and diced apples and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pie pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- **Prepare the Hard Sauce:** While the dessert bakes, prepare the hard sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Transfer the hard sauce to a small, shallow dish or bowl. Refrigerate until firm enough to slice (about 30 minutes).
- To serve, slice the chilled hard sauce and top each serving of the warm apple dessert with a slice of hard sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
