Apple Dumplings

OK so since the Fall weather has finally kicked in and it has been a lot cooler I thought I would start the season off with these DELICIOUS warm delights! I know its not the classic apple pie but it sure is close and it is easily edible for those days when your on-the-go and would love to sit down to enjoy it but just don't have the time. 

Crust or Dumpling 

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp salt

2/3 cup shortening

8 tbs cold water

Directions:

 In a bowl, combine flour and salt: cut in shortening until crumbly.

\

Gradually add water tossing with fork until dough forms a ball. 

Set the ball of dough aside or in the refridgerator.

Apple Filling

4 apples

1/2 cup sugar

3 tbs butter

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tbs lemon juice

Directions:

1. Core and pare apples, place apples in a bowl. Pour lemon juice over apples to prevent them from   

    browning. 

2. Melt butter and pour over apples then sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples and mix

     and mix until evenly distributed.

Now, roll out the dough and cut out 7 inch squares. Place a few apple slices in the middle of the dough. Fold one corner over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Pinch the edges together to seal up the apple dumpling. Continue to roll dumplings until you run out of filling or dough. Place the finished dumplings in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden.

EnJOY!!!! This is the finished product!! Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it is so so YUMMY! I actually liked the way it tasted the next day. I had it without ice cream and it tasted so much better for some reason. lol I dont know why but maybe I'm just weird like that but sometimes some foods just taste better the next day. lol

I hope that you enjoy this dessert and be sure to leave a comment letting me know if you did like it or not. Suggestions are always welcomed. Thanks for reading! Oh yes, dont forget to SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!
