French Apple Dessert Sandwiches
2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers

1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Dash of nutmeg

3 tablespoons raisins

2 tablespoons dark rum or orange juice

½ cup sour cream

½ cup confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature

½ teaspoon vanilla

Approximately 1 teaspoon milk

¼ cup chopped walnuts, optional garnish

Cut ladyfingers apart in groups of three; set aside. 

Combine pie filling and spices in medium bowl. In separate small bowl or saucepan, combine raisins and rum or orange juice. Cover and bring to a boil in microwave oven (in bowl) or on top of stove (saucepan). Let stand 5 minutes, then stir into pie filling. 

Spread split surfaces of all ladyfingers with sour cream. Place 8 groups of split ladyfingers on serving plates, split sides up. Spoon pie filling on top, arranging apple slices in single layer and allowing some of the sauce to flow over the edges. Place remaining ladyfinger groups split side down, on top to complete sandwiches. 

Make icing by blending together the confectioners’ sugar, butter, vanilla and milk to make a smooth spreading consistency. Spread icing over the top of each sandwich; sprinkle with nuts, if desired.
