APPLE DUMPLINGS



Apple Dumplings image

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. While these dumplings are sublime on their own, we wouldn't be opposed to eating these crispy apple treats with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Categories     Dessert

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.

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

Provided by -Mary-

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough
2 large Granny Smith apples, cored and peeled
1/2 cup salted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 ounces carbonated lemon-lime beverage

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray.
  • Slice the cored and peeled apples into eight wedges.
  • Open one of the cans of crescent rolls and carefully unroll it. Separate the 8 triangles from each other.
  • Place one apple slice on the wide end of the triangle, then roll up like a crescent roll (the package has an illustration on the back if you're not sure what that should look like). Tuck the ends around the apple slice to completely enclose it. Place in the baking pan and repeat with the seven remaining triangles from the first can, then repeat again with the second can of crescent rolls.
  • Place the butter in a large microwave safe measuring cup and microwave until melted, about a minute.
  • Stir in the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, then spread evenly over the dumplings in the pan.
  • Pour the Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown on top.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can also bake the dumplings in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to cover the dish with foil so that the dumplings don't dry out.
  • Serve the dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • For a vegan version of this recipe, use plant-based butter and milk.
  • To make gluten-free dumplings, use a gluten-free flour blend.
