| When it comes to apple dumplings, bigger is not always better. I use Macintosh apples that are about 3 inches in diameter. You'll see later that it makes it easier for you to make the dumpling. | ||
| Add the shortening to the bowl and cut in shortening. Not familiar with the term cut in shortening? You're simply passing the fork through the mixture. You can see what I mean in the movie below.

Note: Yes, for those of you who are in the know, the rolling pin usually has a cloth cover but I couldn't find it and the apple dumpling recipe show had to go on. But I floured it and it worked fine. |

It's finally time to peel the apples! I peel them and cut them in half. I then cut out the core. I also think that cutting them in half helps insure the apple bakes thoroughly. I keep the apples from turning brown by placing them in a bowl of ice water. I put ice cubes in the water to keep it as cold as possible. |

Pour some sugar into the apple and then generously sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. I just about fill the center of the apple with the sugar. Place a pat of butter on the top. |

|
Fold the corners to the center of the top of the apple. Do you see now why you want smaller apples? If you start to run a little low on dough doing the final apples you can always roll it out a bit more. Pinch the dough together at the seams. |

Try to place the apple dumplings in the baking dish about an inch apart if possible. You can see mine were a little close in the picture...but they got perfect anyway.
Pour the sauce we made earlier over the apple dumplings and then sprinkle them with sugar. Place the baking dish in the oven preheated to 375° and bake for 35 minutes. |

Apple Dumplings Serving Suggestions...Serve your apple dumplings while they're still warm with a scoop of ice cream on the top. Or simply pour a little milk on them in a bowl. In the rare event that there are any apple dumplings left over the next day, heat them up in the microwave.
