The Most Awesome 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. 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• In a medium pan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt, and stir until the sugar has melted completely and formed a sauce. Add the apples and toss until the apples are fully coated in the sauce. Remove pan from heat.
• On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it has doubled in size. Cut 4-inch squares.
• Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon of water to form an egg wash.
• Fill each square with 1½ tablespoons of apples. (Reserve extra syrup from apples.) Brush the edges of the squares with egg wash. Fold each corner of pastry over the apples until the apples are completely enclosed in the dumpling. Brush entire dumpling with egg wash.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with reserved syrup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F
• Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with oil. Set aside
• In a bowl, using a pastry blender, mix flour, salt, baking powder and butter until mixture is crumbly.
• Add milk ¼ cup at a time, mixing well with a rubber spatula to bind ingredients.
• Lightly / medium flour a work surface and place dough in the middle. Roll out dough into a 10 x 14 inch rectangle. Think cinnamon rolls.
• Grate apples and place on top of rolled out dough.
• Sprinkle apples with ½ teaspoon cinnamon and ½ cup white sugar.
• Gently roll up dough along the long end - like you would a cinnamon roll. Dough is more like a thick pie crust than a soft cinnamon roll dough. This makes it harder to roll, not to mention this bulky apple layer.
• Once dough is rolled up into a tight roll, cut like cinnamon rolls, cut in 1 ¼ inch slices, like cinnamon rolls.
• Place apple dumplings into a prepared casserole dish, filling the dish entirely. Don't overpack, allowing room for rolls to gently expand during cooking.
• In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water, 2 cups brown sugar, ¼ cup butter and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon to a simmer.
• Pour over apple dumplings.
• Bake for 35 minutes.
• Remove and serve immediately by itself or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
