~ APPLE DUMPLINGS MY WAY ~
This is my recipe & first time ever making apple dumplings. I had some leftover pie dough from Thanksgiving I wanted to use up and had extra apples left as well. So, this is what I made and let me tell you they were delicious! So easy to make too. Save time by making your crust ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to make....

Steps:
- 1. Make your dough by placing flour, salt and sugar in food processor, hit pulse button a few times to mix. Next add the shortening and pulse - then butter, until a loose crumbly mixture is formed. Add water a little at a time and when it starts coming together and forming a ball, remove and form a disc shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill while making syrup. If no food processor, mix flour, salt and sugar in a bowl, cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in water until holds together well. Not too sticky though.
- 2. In a saucepan add 1 cup sugar, 2 cups water, 3 tablespoons butter and cinnamon. Whisk together.Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Should take on a syrupy appearance. It will more so as it cools. Set aside to cool.
- 3. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Core and peel apples. Roll out dough to 1/8th - 1/4 inch thickness, on lightly floured surface. I used a bowl and cut out 4 - 6 inch circles. After cut you can roll thinner and larger if need be.
- 4. Place an apple in the center of each circle and fill each cavity with 1 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar. Place 1 piece of butter into each cavity as well. Bring dough up to meet at the top of apple and seal.
- 5. Place apples in an 8 x 8 square baking pan or a little larger. I then sprinkled tops with a little more cinnamon and sugar. Place in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Pour syrup over apples.
- 6. Reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional 45 minutes. Basting a few times with syrup. I tested the apples with a thin knife for tenderness. Remove from oven and cool some before serving. This gives the sauce some time to thicken up.
- 7. Serve apples in a bowl and ladle each with more syrup. Can be served with a scoop of ice cream. Delicious!
