APPLE DUMPLINGS

(Recipe compliments of Anita VanGundy (grandma) and Leeah Hartman (granddaughter, age 6)—First-Place Winners in Miss NiNi’s Create A Family Baking Legacy Contest—2015 Iowa State Fair)

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• ½ t. salt
• ½ t. granulated sugar
• ½ t. vinegar
• ½ c. ice water
• ½ c. shortening (I used Crisco Butter-Flavored Shortening)

Apples:

• 2 Jonagold apples, peeled and cored
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• ½ t. ground cinnamon
• 2 t. butter

Syrup:

• ¼ c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. water
• 2 T. butter
• ½ t. ground cinnamon
• Cinnamon-Sugar for Sprinkling on top:
• ¼ c. granulated sugar
• 1/8 t. ground cinnamon

Method:

For dough: mix flour, salt, and sugar. Mix water and vinegar together. Cut in shortening until shortening is the size of peas. Add enough water-vinegar mixture to make dough come together. Add 1 T. at a time. (May not need to use all of the liquid to make the dough come together.) Make two disks and roll out each into a 10-inch square (If apples are small, a smaller square of dough would be required.)

Mix ¼ c. sugar and cinnamon. Place apple in center of square. Fill cored apple with cinnamon sugar–a little over half full. Put 1 t. butter on top of each apple. Bring corners of dough together and pinch edges to seal. Make pastry cutout and place on top of apple dumpling, if desired. Place in 9-inch baking dish.

To make syrup, place all ingredients in a glass measuring cup and heat in microwave oven until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Pour syrup over dumplings. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Yields: 2 large apple dumplings
