These are the ones my grandmother used to make: warm, flaky, apple-y sweet and drizzled with a sauce that bakes right with them. These are not difficult to make, just a little time-consuming. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe pastry for double-crust pie
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups water
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS



Easy Apple Dumplings image

This quick, easy recipe hails from vintage community cookbooks and family recipe boxes. The sugar, butter, and soda combine to make rich, caramel-like syrup to drizzle over the warm dumplings, ready in minutes thanks to the convenience of premade crescent roll dough. The recipe is so easy that's there little need for cooking advice, other than to use an apple that's good for making a pie. A medium-size apple is better than one of those whoppers to ensure the wedges turn tender in the time it takes to bake the dough. Diet soda is not a good option because it can lose its sweetness and turns bitter when baked. The best choice is one of the vintage-style soft drinks made with cane sugar. Apple dumplings make a fun weeknight dessert or weekend breakfast during the fall. This recipe is a wonderful hands-on cooking activity with children or sleep-over project for tweens.

For a comforting, warm treat, try these Apple Dumplings! They are a taste of Grandma's house right from the comfort of your own home!

Provided by Janelle

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour (Crust)
1 teaspoon salt (Crust)
2 teaspoons baking powder (Crust)
3/4 cup butter, room temperature (Crust)
1/2 cup milk (Crust)
4 Granny Smith apples, grated with skin on, core removed (Filling)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (Filling)
1/2 cup white sugar (Filling)
2 cups water (Caramel Sauce)
2 cups brown sugar (Caramel Sauce)
1/4 cup butter (Caramel Sauce)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (Caramel Sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400*F
  • Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with oil. Set aside
  • In a bowl, using a pastry blender, mix flour, salt, baking powder and butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • Add milk ¼ cup at a time, mixing well with a rubber spatula to bind ingredients.
  • Lightly / medium flour a work surface and place dough in the middle. Roll out dough into a 10 x 14 inch rectangle. Think cinnamon rolls.
  • Grate apples and place on top of rolled out dough.
  • Sprinkle apples with ½ teaspoon cinnamon and ½ cup white sugar.
  • Gently roll up dough along the long end - like you would a cinnamon roll. Dough is more like a thick pie crust than a soft cinnamon roll dough. This makes it harder to roll, not to mention this bulky apple layer.
  • Once dough is rolled up into a tight roll, cut like cinnamon rolls, cut in 1 ¼ inch slices, like cinnamon rolls.
  • Place apple dumplings into a prepared casserole dish, filling the dish entirely. Don't overpack, allowing room for rolls to gently expand during cooking.
  • In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water, 2 cups brown sugar, ¼ cup butter and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon to a simmer.
  • Pour over apple dumplings.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Remove and serve immediately by itself or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Categories     Apple Desserts

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup shortening
7 teaspoons ice cold water, or as needed
6 medium apples, peeled and cored
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon for crust. Cut in shortening until very crumbly. Sprinkle enough water over the mixture to just hold the dry ingredients together; mix together and form into a ball. Wrap with waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface (1/2 batch at a time) to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into six 7-inch squares. Reserve any extra dough for decorative garnish, if desired.
  • Place one apple in the center of each square of dough.
  • Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl. Divide mixture evenly between the apple cores and dot the top of each apple with 1 teaspoon butter. Bring the opposite corners of each square together at the top of each apple, pressing gently to seal the seams. Transfer to a large baking dish, making sure the dumplings do not touch.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Combine water, sugar, corn syrup, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg for syrup in a pan and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 3 minutes. Pour syrup mixture over the top of all of the dumplings.
  • Bake immediately in the preheated oven until the crust begins to turn light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake, occasionally spooning hot syrup from the bottom of the pan over the top of the dumplings, until apples are tender, 30 to 35 more minutes.
  • Serve warm.

  • Serve the dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • To make the dumplings ahead of time, simply prepare them up to the point of frying. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, fry the dumplings according to the recipe instructions.
