Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Coconut oil (solid)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 Apples (medium, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water or dairy-free milk
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, peel and core the apples, cutting them into quarters.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 12x8 inches. Cut the dough into 4 equal squares.
Place one apple onto each square. Sprinkle some of the brown sugar mixture on top of each apple and drizzle with a little lemon juice.
Wrap each apple quarter in dough by bringing the corners together at the top and pinching the edges to seal. If needed, use a dab of water to help seal the edges.
Place the wrapped apples into a baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the water or dairy-free milk and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour the syrup mixture over the dumplings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
