Directions: |
Directions:Make syrup in large, flat saucepan, over low flame on top of stove. Stir often. Set aside to cool.
Pare and core apples, cutting each apple in 4 slices.
Sift flour, salt & baking powder, cut in butter, add milk all at once and stir in mixer until moistened.
Roll dough on a floured board to 1/4” thickness. Cut dough into 6 squares.
Place 4 pieces of apple on each square.
Sprinkle apples generously with brown sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg. Then dot apples with butter.
Fold the corners of the dough squares in toward the top and center, stretching the dough around the apples so they’re completely covered, pinching edges together.
Place dumplings at least 1” apart in fairly deep, greased baking pan.
Pour syrup over the top of the dumplings, using all of it. Prick each dumpling twice on top with a fork.
Bake at 375 for 35 minutes, basting every 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven and serve warm.
Another option: if making a day ahead, cool after baking, cover & store at room temp. The next day, uncover and warm for 20 minutes at 275 before serving.
This makes 6 large dumplings, good for sharing. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream!
