This is the way our family always ate apple dumplings. The dumplings are baked in a cinnamon syrup and rather than a scoop of ice cream, we made nutmeg milk to pour over the top. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
8 drops red food coloring |
1/4 cup butter |
2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup shortening |
1/2 cup milk |
6 small apples |
6 teaspoons butter |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cinnamon |
2 cups whole milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Mix syrup; boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter.
2. Sift dry ingredients and cut in shortening until coarse crumbs. Add milk, all at once and stir until just moistened. Divide into 6 pieces and roll to 1/4 circle, each.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
4. Place a cored apple on each circle. Fill core with cinnamon sugar mix. Place pat of butter on top. Fold pastry up over apple and pinch to seal. Place in 9 x 13 pan 1 apart.
5. Pour syrup over dumplings and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
6. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
