Apple Dumplings
from Plainfield Community Church
Makes 6
Prepare enough dough as for 3 double crust pies
Peel and core 6 apples
Have ready sugar syrup:
1-1/2 c sugar
1-1/2 c water
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Boil in saucepan until sugar is melted. Remove from heat and add 3 Tbsp butter.
Divide dough into 6 balls; roll out dough to 10″ squares. Place apple in center of dough; into middle of apple place 1 Tbsp brown sugar and a shake of cinnamon. Bring diagonal, opposite corners of dough up to top and pinch together so the apple is wrapped in the dough. Place dumplings in casserole dish, pour syrup over, and bake uncovered at 375 for 35 minutes or until tender (test with a fork).
