I made these for Scott and mine's little Christmas dinner for just the two of us and they were great! They were kinda like my mom's apple pie (which is delicious by the way) but I didn't have to buy a pie dish! I got the recipe from Taste of Home's Cooking for 2's website after discovering their little gem of a magazine in Border's. Sorry the pic isn't very good, I was just anxious to get started eating!
Notes:
- I pretty much followed the recipe to a 'T' besides cutting it in half.
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 t salt
- 1 cup shortening
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 8 medium tart apples, peeled and cored (I used Golden Delicious)
- 8 t butter
- 9 t cinnamon-sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
Directions:
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 for at least 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
Roll each portion of dough between two 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; pinch edges to seal. If desired, cut out apple leaves and stems from dough scraps; attach to dumplings with water. Place in a greased backing 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 at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is golden, brown, basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm.
