CINNAMON APPLE DUMPLINGS
WHEN Mom made pies to feed the crew during wheat harvest, she always had plenty of dough left over, so she treated us kids to apple dumplings. I've carried on this tradition in my own family. Now my husband and I enjoy this special dessert even when I'm not baking pies.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat an 8"X8" baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. (If apples are large and do not fit, use a bigger baking dish.)
- 2. Simple Cider Syrup: Combine the sugar, cinnamon, water and apple cider in a small saucepan. Mix well and bring to a boil. Let boil, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- 3. Pastry: In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until crumbs are formed and pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water at a time over flour mixture. Gently toss with fork and push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat until dough holds together. Divide into 4 equal portions, forming each into a ball and flatten out to make 4 discs. Cover and set aside.
- 4. Apple prep: Peel apples, cut in half and remove seeds. Place 1 teaspoon of butter into each of 4 apple half acvities. Divide cinnamon-sugar evenly between apples, placing other half of apple on top of "filled" half. Press lightly together (butter should act as a "glue" to hold halves together). Set aside.
- 5. To prepare pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll each douch disc into a circle about 1/8" thick. Place a filled apple in center of each dough circle. Moisten edges of pastry with water and bring dough up around apples, being careful not to tear pastry. Press edges together on top of apple to seal.
- 6. Place wrapped apples in prepared baking dish. Gently pour cider syrup evenly over apples and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until pastry is golden.

APPLE CIDER-CARAMEL DUMPLINGS
This may not be the dish you think of when you see the words "apple dumplings," but this delicious dessert couldn't be simpler to make, or more comforting to eat. It starts with a basic dumpling batter. Just stir together the ingredients, then cook them in liquid on the stovetop until they become fluffy all the way through. Poaching the dumplings in a combination of apple cider, brown sugar and cinnamon means they take on a jammy exterior and absorb some of sweetness in the process. As the dumplings cook, they release some starch into the liquid, which thickens the poaching liquid into a sauce. It's topped with a lightly whipped vanilla cream, which has a consistency similar to melted ice cream and coats each and every bite.

Steps:
- Make the apple cider-caramel sauce: In a medium pot, heat the cream and butter over medium until the butter is melted. Add the brown sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-low. Once simmering, cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add the apple cider and stir well to combine. (The sugar will seize, but just keep stirring and it will dissolve back into the liquid.) Add the cinnamon sticks and salt, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- While the mixture comes to a simmer, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla. Whisk to combine, then switch to a spatula or wooden spoon as the mixture comes together.
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add a single layer of tablespoon-size scoops of batter to the pot (about 5 to 6 dumplings), cover the pot and set a timer for 8 minutes. (If desired, you can test one dumpling by cutting it in half to make sure it's cooked through.)
- After each batch, use a slotted spoon to drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil to help keep the dumplings warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, poaching the dumplings in batches until all of the batter is used. (The poaching liquid will thicken slightly and decrease as you cook the dumplings, even with the pot covered.)
- Once all the dumplings are fully cooked and removed from the pot, add the apples to the pot and simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how toothsome or soft you like your apples.
- While the apples cook, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, whisk the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until it thickens enough to coat a spoon, but is still fluid. Chill the whipped cream until ready to use.
- Divide the warm dumplings among serving dishes. Spoon the sauce, apples and cream sauce over each portion and serve immediately.
APPLE DUMPLINGS WITH CINNAMON SYRUP
Got this in a recipe swap a few years ago from a woman who owned a small diner. She says customers really enjoyed these, maybe you will too. Eat warm from the oven or re-heat in microwave, scrumptious with vanilla ice cream. Ovens vary so bake time is a guess.
