Dough Bellies Apple Dumplings Eatnpark Cookbook Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Set apples aside in a cold water bath while you prepare the dough.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut together with a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly. Add milk and stir until dough comes together.
• Combine 1 cup brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Separate dough into six equal portions and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place an apple in the center of each dough portion and fill the core with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Wrap each apple in dough and place into the prepared pan.
• Combine remaining brown sugar, water, butter, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over dumplings.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown and apples are soft, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Peel, core and slice the apples vertically into 8 slices each. Squeeze the lemon into a bowl of water and add the apple slices to keep from turning brown. In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup water, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the butter and vanilla. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Wrap a biscuit layer around a slice of apple, stretching the biscuit slightly to overlap, and seal on the bottom. Place the wrapped slices, sealed-side down, in a 9- by 12- by 2-inch casserole dish. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the apple slices. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the wrapped apples. Bake until golden brown, 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Make your pie crust as you normally do and divide evenly for the amount of apples you have (6 for 6 apples, 8 for 8 apples etc.).
• mix the dry ingredients.
• Roll out pastry (the size of a small egg) into a circle big enough to"cover" the whole apple.
• Place an apple in center of each circle of dough and fill hole where core was with a pat of butter, some of the dry mix and top with another pat of butter.
• "fold"dough up and encase apple with dough sealing at the top.
• They will look like a"purse" sort of.
• Bake 350F degrees until dough is golden brown and apple is tender.

Steps:

• For the pastry dough: Mix together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the lard and butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Slowly add the water and mix until the dough comes together, then coat with flour to prevent sticking. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 1/8-inch-thick square on a lightly floured surface, then cut the into six 7-by-7-inch squares.
• For the apple filling: Peel and core the apples. Place an apple in the center of each dough square. Put 1 piece of butter into the center of each apple. Push some brown sugar down on top of the butter until packed tight. Put a second piece of butter on top of the sugar. Sprinkle cinnamon liberally across the dough and the filled apples. Fold opposite corners of the dough up around each apple, and then turn over and mold the rest of the dough over the apples, being careful not to leave any parts of the apples exposed. Tear off any excess dough on the bottom of each apple.
• Place the apples in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• For the dumpling sauce: Combine the water, granulated sugar, butter and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Ladle 1/2 cup of the dumpling sauce over each dumpling and pour the excess sauce into the baking dish. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender, about 35 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. For syrup, place 1 cup sugar, water, 3 tablespoons butter and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes; remove from heat., Mix the remaining ½ cup sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 21x14-in. rectangle; cut into 6 squares. Place an apple on each square. Fill center of each with 4 teaspoons sugar mixture and ½ teaspoon butter. Moisten edges of crust with water; bring up corners over apples, pinching edges to seal. Place in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish., Pour syrup around apples. Bake until golden brown and apples are tender, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each apple piece in one crescent roll. Place seam side down in an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• In medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and orange juice; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over rolls.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden and apples are tender. Spoon sauce over rolls when serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Make enough pie enough to roll into 12 6"x6" squares (about a double batch.).
• Sprinkle each square with 1 tsp grated cheddar. Peel and core apples and place one on each square. Fill the centre of each apple with 2 tsp (or 1 heaping tsp) of mincement, 1 tsp of rum, a dot of butter and 1 Tablespoon sugar.
• Bring diagonally opposite corners of dough over the apple to form ears at the top. Cover the 'ears' with aluminium foil.
• Mix the brown sugar, cream and grated lemon rind. Brush the dumplings with this mixture and bake 35 to 45 minutes in 400F oven.
• Remove foil, brush ears with cream mixture and return to oven till 'ears' are brown. Serve warm with plain or sweetened cream, flavoured with rum.

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.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse a few times to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons water and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and holds together. Add up to 2 more tablespoons water if necessary but be careful not to make the dough too wet. Tip the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use the edges of the plastic wrap to lift and press the dough into a cohesive piece. Wrap with plastic and shape into a flat rectangle. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a melon baller, remove a tiny bit of the root end of each apple. Use the melon baller to core each apple from the stem, leaving about ¾-inch intact at the bottom. Rub the outside of the apples with some of the brown sugar mixture. Toss the remaining brown sugar mixture with the butter and currants and stuff it evenly into the apples. Butter a large baking dish.
• On a lightly floured surface divide the dough into 6 equal rectangles. Working with one piece at a time, roll into an 8-inch square between 1/8- and ¼-inch thick. (Keep the other pieces in the fridge while you work.) Place one apple in the center, open side up. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and bring them up and over one apple, pressing the dough gently to adhere it. (If there are any thin spots or holes in the dough, seal them well to prevent the dough from slipping off during baking.) Transfer the wrapped apple to the prepared dish and transfer it to the fridge. Repeat with the remaining dough, egg wash, and apples. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill the apples while the oven is heating.
• Just before baking, brush the apples all over with the egg wash and sprinkle all sides generously with sugar. Bake until the crust is deep golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes. Insert a small knife in an inconspicuous spot to test the apple for softness and return to the oven for a few minutes more if not done yet. If crust is becoming too dark, tent lightly with foil until apples are cooked through.
