I made this yesterday and for a first time, I don't think I did half bad! :) Turned out really good!
INGREDIENTS
6 crisp, tart apples
brown sugar
cinnamon
Flaky Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter or shortening
1/2 - 3/4 cup milk
Caramel Sauce:
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups water
1/4 cup butter (4 Tbs.)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel and core six apples. Put a bit of brown sugar inside the cavity of each whole apple and sprinkle with cinnamon, according to your taste.
6 crisp, tart apples,brown sugar,cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°.
To Make the Crust:
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour,2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder,1/2 teaspoon salt
Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender, until particles are about the size of small peas.
2/3 cup butter or shortening
Add the milk and press together gently, working the dough only enough to hold it together. Do not overmix. If the dough is too dry and doesn't want to hang together, add more milk until it becomes cohesive.
1/2 - 3/4 cup milk
Sprinkle your clean countertop with flour and roll out the dough as you would for a pie. But you want to roll it out into about a 17 x 12 1/2" rectangle instead of a circle.
Cut the rectangle into six equal-sized squares. Place a whole apple onto each square, and gather the dough up over the apple. Moisten the edges with a bit of cold water and fasten them securely at the top of the apple. You will want to try to create a seal. Although some of mine will crack open a bit sometimes when baking, and it's not a big deal.
Spread the six dumplings into a greased 9 x 13" baking dish.
Caramel Sauce:
Combine brown sugar, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil lightly for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter, and stir until melted.
2 cups brown sugar,2 cups water,1/4 teaspoon cinnamon,1/4 cup butter (4 Tbs.)
Pour the sauce over the top of the dumplings.
Bake, uncovered, for 50 - 55 minutes or until apples feel soft when poked.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
The pictures aren't really doing it any justice... give it a try and I think you'll like it!
