These are the ones my grandmother used to make: warm, flaky, apple-y sweet and drizzled with a sauce that bakes right with them. These are not difficult to make, just a little time-consuming. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe pastry for double-crust pie
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups water
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
  • With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. Bring up the two remaining corners, and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. Place in prepared baking dish.
  • In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in a dessert bowl, and spoon some sauce over the top.

  • Peel and core the apples evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overfill the dumplings. Leave some room for the apples to expand as they cook.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring the water or apple cider to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
  • Simmer the dumplings gently. Do not boil them, as this will make them tough.
  • Cook the dumplings until the apples are tender. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the dumplings warm. They can be topped with butter, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Apple dumplings are a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them simple or with a variety of toppings, apple dumplings are sure to be a hit.
