Kresges Apple Dumplings

I use to work at Kresges when I was a teenager. You said that you could 
not find a recipe for their apple dumplings with vanilla sauce and I can 
tell you why.  First of all the apple dumplings came in already made and 
frozen all we did was bake them.  As for the vanilla sauce that went on 
them, it was vanilla pudding from a can but with extra milk added to it. 
This should solve the problem.  Confession is I always liked this dessert 
myself.  I worked in the cafeteria of Kresges. Hope this helps you out.
