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.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 28

All-purpose flour, for rolling out dough
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons Armagnac, or brandy
2 tablespoons dried cherries, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely ground blanched almonds
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 McIntosh apples
1 lemon, cut into quarters lengthwise
4 cinnamon sticks
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 cups clear apple juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup Armagnac, or brandy
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse 2 or 3 times to mix. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water in a steady stream through feed tube; process just until mixture begins to hold together, no more than 30 seconds. Flatten dough into a disc, and wrap in plastic. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
  • Combine all syrup ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until liquid has reduced by half and has slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; set syrup aside.
  • Combine Armagnac and cherries in a small bowl; let sit 20 minutes. Drain cherries, reserving Armagnac; add Armagnac to reserved syrup. In another small bowl, combine cherries, flour, ground almonds, brown sugar, butter, nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon; mix filling well with a wooden spoon.
  • Peel apples; remove stems and top 3/4 of core, leaving 1/4 inch intact at bottom. Rub each apple with a lemon quarter to prevent discoloration. Divide filling among four apples, filling cavities. Insert a cinnamon stick into each cavity. Wrap exposed end of cinnamon stick with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set filled apples aside.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll dough to an 1/8-inch thickness, and trim to a 14-inch square. Cut 4 squares, 7 inches each, from dough. Brush entire surface of one square lightly with beaten egg white; place a filled apple in the center. Bring 2 adjacent corners of dough together at the tops, and press together to create a triangular flap. Repeat, making four flaps. Lightly brush one side of each flap with egg white, and press firmly against the apple. Repeat with remaining dough and apples. Transfer to a plate, and chill 15 minutes.
  • Mix together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Brush dumplings lightly with the egg wash, and transfer dumplings to a roasting pan, spacing dumplings at least 1 inch apart.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Remove roasting pan from oven, and pour the reserved syrup over dumplings. Return pan to the oven, and bake 10 minutes more, basting twice. Continue baking dumplings until deep-golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve dumplings with the warm syrup.

Tips

- To make the perfect apple dumplings, it's important to choose the right apples. Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, which will hold their shape during baking. - Peel and core the apples, then cut them into uniform 1-inch thick slices. This will help them cook evenly. - To make the dumpling dough, use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough. - Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the dough into 12 equal wedges. - Place an apple slice on each wedge of dough, then fold up the sides of the dough to enclose the apple. Crimp the edges of the dough to seal them. - Place the dumplings in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the dumplings, then dot them with butter. - Bake the dumplings in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. - Serve the dumplings warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion

Apple dumplings are a classic comfort food that are perfect for fall. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect apple dumplings that will be a hit at your next gathering.
