These warm and comforting Apple Dumplings are great by themselves or served with ice cream. You can decorate each dumpling by cutting 1-inch leaves and a 1/2-inch stem from the leftover dough. âRobin Lendon, Cincinnati, Ohio Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup shortening |
1/3 cup cold water |
8 medium tart apples, peeled and cored |
8 teaspoons butter |
9 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar, divided |
sauce: |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide into eight portions. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. Roll each portion of dough between two lightly floured sheets of waxed paper into a 7-in. square. Place an apple on each square. Place 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar in the center of each apple.
3. Gently bring up corners of pastry to each center; pinch edges to seal. If desired, cut out apple leaves and stems from dough scraps; attach to dumplings with water. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
4. In a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Bring just to a boil, stirring until blended. Pour over apples.
5. Bake 50-55 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown, basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
