1. Apple-Rum Sauce
Sometimes the simplest touch takes a dessert from splurge-worthy to indulgent. This seasonal drizzling sauce is just the touch for everything from fruit to cake.
Recipe: Apple-Rum Sauce
2. Chocolate-Bourbon Tart
This rich tart is like a dark-chocolate truffle in a crisp, flaky cocoa crust. Bourbon adds a wonderful smokiness; be sure to heat it carefully with the sugar so it doesn’t ignite.

3. Red-Wine Velvet Cake
Red velvet cake may be a perennial at children’s birthday parties, but there’s nothing childish about this cake. Red wine adds a sophisticated flavor note to this already rich and colorful dessert.
