Nutty Apple Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide into 8 portions. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until easy to handle., Preheat oven to 350°. Roll each portion of dough between 2 lightly floured sheets of waxed paper into a 7-in. square. Place an apple on each square. Place 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar in the center of each apple., Gently bring up corners of pastry to each center, trimming any excess; pinch edges to seal. If desired, cut out apple leaves and stems from dough scraps; attach to dumplings with water. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar., In a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Bring just to a boil, stirring until blended. Pour over apples. , Bake until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown, 50-55 minutes, basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm.

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:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
• With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. Bring up the two remaining corners, and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. Place in prepared baking dish.
• In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in a dessert bowl, and spoon some sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Place 1 pie crust on lightly floured surface; roll out to 10-1/2-inch round. Cut into 10x8-inch rectangle. Repeat with remaining pie crust. Discard pastry scraps or reserve for use in decorating tops of dumplings. (See tip.) Cut each rectangle into 4 smaller rectangles.
• Place 1 apple piece in center of each pastry rectangle. Sprinkle evenly with 3 Tbsp. nuts and 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice. Gather 4 corners of each pastry rectangle over apple; pinch seams and points together to seal. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
• Cook syrup with remaining nuts and apple pie spice in saucepan on medium heat 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently. (Do not let mixture come to boil.) Drizzle over warm dumplings just before serving; top with COOL WHIP.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan with 100ml water. Bring to a simmer, add the apples and cook for 10-15 mins until they're starting to soften - it will be quite saucy. Add a generous pinch of salt, taste and check the balance, adding more if you like. If your pan isn't ovenproof, pour into a baking dish about 20 x 30cm, or two smaller ones.
• Tip the flour into a bowl. Mix with the baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingertips until it resembles damp sand. Add the milk, stir with a cutlery knife until it starts to clump together, then use your hands to bring the dough together, picking up any flaky bits. Don't overwork it or your dumplings will be heavy. Divide into 12 golf ball-sized pieces and roll into dumplings. Arrange over the apples, leaving little gaps here and there. Sprinkle with a little extra sugar (brown or caster) and bake for 25 mins until the dumplings are puffed up and golden. Let rest for a few mins and serve with plenty of cold cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• In a medium pan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt, and stir until the sugar has melted completely and formed a sauce. Add the apples and toss until the apples are fully coated in the sauce. Remove pan from heat.
• On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it has doubled in size. Cut 4-inch squares.
• Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon of water to form an egg wash.
• Fill each square with 1½ tablespoons of apples. (Reserve extra syrup from apples.) Brush the edges of the squares with egg wash. Fold each corner of pastry over the apples until the apples are completely enclosed in the dumpling. Brush entire dumpling with egg wash.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with reserved syrup.
• Enjoy!

• 2. Place a peeled and cored apple in the center of the dough. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of cinnamon sugar in the hole. Using hands mold the dough around the apple, bringing sides of dough towards the top of apple, making sure entire apple is covered. The dough is so easy to work with.
