Butterscotch Apple Dumplings image

This is a recipe that my mother used to make. On those chilly fall and winter days I would come home to such a welcoming feast. This is an old recipe and hope that you will enjoy it.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup shortening
1 cup milk
4 apples - peeled, cored and halved
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup butter
1 pinch salt
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease one 13x9 inch baking pan. Combine 1/2 cup of the white sugar with the ground cinnamon and the ground nutmeg; set aside.
  • Measure sifted flour, add baking powder, salt, and 3 tablespoons sugar, and sift again. Cut shortening into sifted ingredients until mixture looks like coarse meal. Add milk, mixing until a soft dough is formed.
  • Knead dough on lightly floured board half a minute. Divide dough in half. Roll each half to a 1/8 inch thickness. Cut eight 5 inch squares out of the dough. Place an apple half on each square. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the sugar-spice mixture. Moisten edges of dough and bring corners up over apples, pressing edges together. Place covered apples in the prepared baking pan with joined edges either on top or underneath the apples.
  • Mix together brown sugar, butter, salt, and water; bring to a boil. Pour over dumplings in pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until apples are tender. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings. The brown sugar mixture forms a delicious butterscotch sauce around the dumplings.

These dumplings were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with a different type of apple next time.

I don't recommend this recipe. The dumplings were bland and the sauce was too thick.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dumplings turned out perfectly. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by reducing the amount of brown sugar.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I loved these dumplings. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and gooey.
