Directions:
- Make a paste of butter, spices and brown sugar
- Roll out pastry to 1/8" thickness; cut into eight 6" squares. Place an apple in the center of each; put jelly or marmalade in cavity, and spread spicy paste over each apple.
- Moisten edges of pastry; bring points together over the apple; seal sides firmly. Roll leftover pastry; cut into "streamers" to lay across the top of dumplings.
- Place in a large greased baking dish about 11" x 15"; bake in moderate oven (375ºF.) for 30 minutes.
- While apples are baking, make syrup of water, sugar and fruit juice; simmer to dissolve sugar. Pour over apples; bake 10-20 minutes more, basting frequently, to give attractive glaze. A little food color may be added to syrup, if desired. Serve warm with cream. Makes 8 servings.
