Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe pastry for double-crust pie
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

APPLE DUMPLINGS



Apple Dumplings image

You can't go wrong with a classic Betty Crocker recipe, and this one is no exception. This timeless dessert is the epitome of fall-homemade flaky pastry is wrapped around a hot and bubbly apple and a warm brown sugar glaze is poured on top for an extra sweet finish. While these dumplings are sublime on their own, we wouldn't be opposed to eating these crispy apple treats with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
6 baking apples, about 3 inches in diameter (such as Braeburn, Granny Smith or Rome)
3 tablespoons raisins
3 tablespoons chopped nuts
2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender or fork, until particles are the size of small peas. Sprinkle with the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well with fork until all flour is moistened. Gather the dough together, and press it into a 6x4-inch rectangle.
  • Lightly sprinkle flour over a cutting board or countertop. Cut off 1/3 of the dough with a knife; set aside. On the floured surface, place 2/3 of the dough. Flatten dough evenly, using hands or a rolling pin, into a 14-inch square; cut into 4 squares. Flatten the remaining 1/3 of the dough into a 14x7-inch rectangle; cut into 2 squares. You will have 6 squares of dough.
  • Remove the stem end from each apple. Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a paring knife, cut around the core by pushing the knife straight down to the bottom of the apple and pull up. Move the knife and make the next cut. Repeat until you have cut around the apple core. Push the core from the apple. (Or remove the cores with an apple corer.) Peel the apples with a paring knife.
  • Place 1 apple on the center of each square of dough. In a small bowl, mix the raisins and nuts. Fill the center of each apple with raisin mixture. Moisten the corners of each square with small amount of water; bring 2 opposite corners of dough up over apple and press corners together. Fold in sides of remaining corners; bring corners up over apple and press together. Place dumplings in a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the brown sugar and 1 1/3 cups water to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Carefully pour the sugar syrup around the dumplings.
  • Bake about 40 minutes, spooning syrup over apples 2 or 3 times, until crust is browned and apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve warm or cooled with syrup from pan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for this dish. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use frozen or canned apples, but the flavor and texture will be slightly different.
  • Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples will make them easier to eat and will help the filling to cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of apples: Using a variety of apples will give your dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • Don't overfill the apples: When you fill the apples with the filling, don't overfill them or they will burst when they bake.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough: Make sure to use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate all of the apples. If the dish is too small, the apples will be crowded and won't cook evenly.
  • Serve warm: Apple dumpling French toast bake is best served warm. You can top it with whipped cream, ice cream, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Apple dumpling French toast bake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weekend morning. With its sweet and cinnamony flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast or brunch recipe, give apple dumpling French toast bake a try.
