Your son John (and the rest of the family) will love this old-fashioned apple dessert with a new twist.
Ingredients:
Sauce
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Dough
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
Filling
4 Granny Smith apples
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
To make sauce: In a large saucepan, combine ingredients. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pieces are pea-size. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add milk all at once. Stir just until moistened. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10-12 strokes, or until nearly smooth. Roll dough into a 10″ x 12″ rectangle.
To make filling: Peel and grate apples. Spread evenly over dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Starting from long side, roll dough into a tight roll. Pinch seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut into 12, 1″ thick slices. Arrange slices face up in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish. Pour sauce over dumplings and bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
