Amish Apple Dumplings
Servings: 6
Directions
- Roll out pastry and cut into squares sufficient to cover apples completely.
- Peel and core apples. Roll in lemon juice. Then roll in white sugar and cinnamon combined. Place on pastry square. Stuff core cavity with brown sugar, butter, brown sugar in equal parts. (The amount depends on size of core cavity, just stuff full.) Fold pastry up around apple to completely enclose it. Place in pan. Prepare sugar sauce by mixing water, sugar, vanilla, butter, nutmeg, and mace and boiling for 1 minute. Let cold slightly. Pour over Apples. Bake in 375 F oven for 1 hour. Serve hot.
- Note: Apples may be frzn in pastry (before sugar sauce is added) if you like. Good dessert to make ahead if you have lots of apples around.
- Just let thaw when ready to use, and cover with sugar sauce and bake as usual.
