Apple Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients
·
3 cups
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
- 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 8 portions. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until easy
to handle.
- Preheat
oven to 350°. Roll each portion of dough between 2 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.
- Gently
bring up corners of pastry to each center, trimming any excess; 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.
- In a
large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Bring just to a boil, stirring
until blended. Pour over apples.
- Bake
50-55 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown,
basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm.
