APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• Peel and core the apples, then cut each into 8 slices. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll piece, then transfer to the prepared pan.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the sugar and barely stir. Add the vanilla and stir slightly, then pour the entire mixture over the apples. Pour the citrus soda around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake until golden brown and crispy on top, about 40 minutes.
• Serve, spooning some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• Peel and core each apple. To prevent browning while you roll out the pie dough, you can place the prepared apples in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• If using homemade pie dough, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 21x14 inches. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces, about 7x7 inches each.
• If using store-bought pie dough, unroll the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces.
• In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and apple pie spice.
• Place a cored apple into the center of each dough piece. In the center of each apple, place one of the butter pieces and a scant tablespoon of the spiced sugar mixture. Bring the corners of the dough up over the apple and use your fingers to pinch the edges together to seal the dough around the apple. Place in the greased baking dish. Repeat for all of the remaining apples and dough pieces.
• Place the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once the sauce comes to a rolling boil and the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and carefully pour it evenly over the apples. Sprinkle any remaining spiced sugar on top of the apples.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until golden and a paring knife can be easily inserted into the apples. Let cool slightly. Serve warm with some of the sauce.

GRANDMA'S APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Creating the pie dough:.
• Blend flour, salt, and shortening together using a pastry cutter until the mixture is about the texture of corn meal.
• Add 1/2 cup of ice cold water and mix the dough (I find using my hands for this is easiest). If dough is too dry, add a bit more water but sparingly.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into eight squares.
• Filling the dumplings:.
• Place one apple on a square of pie dough. Fill the apple with sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and dot with butter.
• Bring corners of pie dough to top of apple and pinch shut.
• Place finished dumplings in a 9x13 greased pan.
• Syrup:.
• Bring to boil sugar, water, and butter in a sauce pan. Boil for two minutes.
• Pour syrup mixture around the dumplings.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Baste the dumplings with the syrup from the pan every 5 to 7 minutes.

APPLE DUMPLINGS

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.
