Rosy Apple Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
• With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. Bring up the two remaining corners, and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. Place in prepared baking dish.
• In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in a dessert bowl, and spoon some sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a square baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Pour melted butter into a bowl; add sugar, flour, and cinnamon for dumplings and whisk until fully combined with the butter. Toss apples in mixture to coat; add 2 tablespoons warm water and mix to combine.
• Gently stretch out the biscuits one at a time until they're large enough to fit 1 tablespoon apple mixture. Be careful not to stretch them too thin, you don't want the dough to break.
• Add 1 heaping tablespoon apple mixture to the center of each stretched-out biscuit. Gently tuck the dough around the mixture to seal each dumpling into a ball shape.
• Line up the dumplings with the seal facing down. Use a sharp knife to slice a tiny slit into the top of each dumpling to allow them to vent while cooking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nearly golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.
• While dumplings are baking, melt butter for sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-low. Slowly sprinkle flour into the butter, whisking the entire time. Add water and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and vanilla extract.
• Remove dumplings from the oven and pour sauce on top. Continue to bake until the edges of the corner dumplings start to brown and pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes more.
