Apple Dumplings

Tonight's dessert.

I'll stop on the way home from work and pick up ice cream and will make a caramel sauce to go with.

In the oven early this morning.

Just out of the oven.

Really large apples from a friends tree. Called King Apples I assume because of their size.

Ann those look both beautiful and delicious. Apple season is in full swing here, so it's the perfect time for dumplings. Or pie. Or crisp. Or something!

RECIPE: Mrs. Sarah's Simple Apple Dumplings
Q
Comments (3)
My recipe calls for pouring the soda around the edges. And I don't make the sauce. I "eye" it, by dotting with butter and sprinkle a lesser amt of sugar and cinnamon. This is recipe I use but using less amts of sugar and butter. Just when sugars and butter looks right. And NO the crescents do not get soggy. Ingredients 4 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and cored, cut into quarters 2 cans Crescent Dinner Rolls (open and separate) 2 C. granulated sugar 1 C. brown sugar 1 (12 oz.) can Sprite 3/4 C. (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with Pam. Wrap each piece of apple in a crescent roll. Put into prepared baking dish, core side down. Mix sugars together and spread evenly over apples. Cut butter or margarine over top, then pour Sprite around the edge of the baking dish. Bake until browned. Yield: 16 apple dumplings

Oh, almost forgot to say that the tube biscuits make great donuts too..just put a hole in the middle, fry em and glaze or sugar or 10x! Or if ya want filled ones, dont put the hole in the middle! http://debfrompa.proboards.com/index.cgi?/

RECIPE: Apples!
Q
Comments (19)
This thread prompted me to make something apple with apple basket DH got at the hospital. I made an apple crisp/betty/cobbler. Anyway, it turned out very good. I threw some apple brandy in while cooking the apples. I made the crust with the dry cake mix and butter. Sherry/Sheshebop said not to use canned pie filling so this was my opportunity to ditch that habit. It was really easy to make from scratch. The most challenging thing was using the apple corer and getting the core out of the "gadget".

Oh my goodness, those look scrumptious!

I spy stems; do you core, or not core the apples?

Carol, I cored from the top to within about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the bottom. Filled with a mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and topped with the pastry, wrapping around the apple and pinching closed on the bottom. I saved the stems from the cores and stuck in the pastry.

Soooo beautiful Ann : ) Just perfect. I often wondered about the core too. I can see the baked butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar oozing at the top... Ah, must've tasted amazing!

OMG! Looks positively decadent! I haven't had one since I was a kid. I'm pastry challenged so that means I'm out of luck.

Those must be the most perfect apple dumplings I've ever laid eyes on.

Cindy, I don't believe for a moment that you are pastry challenged. You can cook and well so there is no reason that you can't master pastry.

This is the easiest pastry recipe, and you can make it with half lard/shortening and half butter. I actually prefer all butter.

Butter-Lard Pastry
==================
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt

Pinch of baking powder (optional)

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup lard (or shortening- Crisco)
5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water

(note: if using for a sweet pie, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.)

Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard.

(Use a box grater and grate the butter /lard into flour.)

Add ice water and stir with a fork until pastry comes together. Form in to a ball and cut in two pieces. Form each into a round flat disc and refrigerate for 1 hour.

I agree, AnnT, Cindy is an awesome cook, and I'm betting she could master nearly anything she put her mind to.

Nope, no can do pastry. It sounds easy, but plays out so differently in my kitchen. At least I've tried a couple times.
