A favorite childhood gingerbread treat: Make your favorite recipe of gingerbread that fits into an 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Melt 2 T. butter in the pan. Add 1/2 C. light molasses and 1/4 C. raisins. Heat above ingredients. Arrange 2 sliced apples in the molasses mixture in the bottom of the pan. Pour gingerbread batter over and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

To serve: While hot, cut into squares and flip servings upside down onto individual dessert plates. Offer whipped cream flavored with a small amount of powdered ginger or nutmeg, or ice cream as an embellishment.
