Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 4 units Medium apples (peeled and cored)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix. Roll the dough onto a floured surface and cut into four equal rectangles.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of this sugar mixture into the cored center of each apple.
Place each apple on a dough rectangle and wrap the dough around the apple, pinching edges to seal. Place the wrapped apples seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, butter, and vanilla. Heat over medium until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender, and the dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
