Apple Dumplings Recipe

by

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Apples

  1. Core and Peel: Peel and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to hold in the filling.
  2. Sprinkle: Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture inside the hollowed-out apples.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

  1. Prepare Dough: If using refrigerated pie crust, roll it out on a floured surface. If using homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Cut: Cut the dough into squares large enough to wrap around the apples.

Step 4: Wrap the Apples

  1. Wrap: Place an apple in the center of each square of dough. Bring the corners of the dough up and over the apple, pinching to seal.
  2. Place in Dish: Arrange the wrapped apples in a greased baking dish.

Step 5: Make the Syrup

  1. Combine: In a saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 6: Bake the Dumplings

  1. Pour Syrup: Pour the syrup over the wrapped apples in the baking dish.
  2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the pastry is golden brown.

Step 7: Serve

  1. Cool Slightly: Allow the dumplings to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Enjoy: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert!
