BONNIE'S ULTIMATE APPLE DUMPLING image

I learned how to make these from a chef, named John, and he certainly knew what he was doing! They are easy, and oh, so delicious. Serve warm with a topper of whipped cream or lite cool whip. They are better than apple pie! Definitely company worthy! I am happy to share my recipe with you! Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 granny smith apples -- or one apple per person, medium size apples, peeled and cored
pie dough, your own recipe or store bought
(a package of 2 pie crusts makes 4 dumplings)
**********************
filling:
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon butter
***********************
syrup:
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE APPLES: Peel and core 4 medium Granny Smith apples. I do this by hand with a sharp paring knife by making a hole in the center of the apple and removing the seeds. Set aside.
  • 2. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. You will need a buttered. 8 inch glass baking dish.
  • 3. MAKE THE SYRUP: In a small sauce pan, combine sugar, water, butter and cinnamon, and heat to boiling, then simmer for 10 minutes on very low heat. Meanwhile,
  • 4. MAKE THE FILLING: Combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • 5. ROLL THE DOUGH: It will take 2 pie crusts for four dumplings. I roll the dough a little thinner than the crust. Make a square of dough, place the apple in the center of it so that when you bring up two corners of the square, the ends touch. Cut away any excess dough. Fill the center of the apple while it is on the dough with 2 teaspoons of the sugar filling. Top with one teaspoon of butter, bring two ends up around the apple and pinch to close, then bring the other two ends up and pinch to close, pinch the sides and seal so there is no crack anyplace. It should look like my photo of apple dumplings. You may have to "patch" the dough when you roll it for the second dumpling, but as long as it is sealed, that is okay. Finish sealing all the apples in the dough.
  • 6. Place the apple dumplings in the dish, don't let the sides touch, about 1/2 inch apart. Pour the syrup carefully AROUND not OVER the apple dumplings.
  • 7. Bake in the 400 degree oven for 1 hour until dumplings are lightly browned. Serve in a shallow dish with a couple spoons of the syrup around the bottom of the apple, and a big dollop of whipped cream or lite cool whip! Enjoy!

I made these apple dumplings in my air fryer, and they turned out perfectly crispy. I'm definitely going to try making them this way again.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the filling. The dumplings were still delicious without them.

I used Granny Smith apples for my dumplings, and they turned out tart and delicious. I think I'll try using a sweeter apple next time, like Honeycrisp or Fuji.

The dumplings were a little dry for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll add a little more butter to the dough next time.
