Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
6 medium baking apples, peeled and cored
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
⅔ cup shortening
-
½ cup milk
-
3 cups brown sugar, divided
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 cups water
-
¼ cup unsalted butter
-
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Place apples in a bowl of cold water; set aside while preparing the dough.
-
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly. Add milk; stir until dough comes together. Combine 1 cup brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
-
Separate dough into 6 equal portions; roll portions out to 1/4-inch thickness. Place 1 apple in center of each dough portion; fill core with cinnamon-brown sugar mixture. Wrap apples in dough to enclose; place dumplings into the prepared baking dish.
-
Combine remaining 2 cups brown sugar, water, butter, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over dumplings.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown and apples are soft, about 40 minutes.
Cook's Note:
You can also bake dumplings (2 per pan) in small, foil-lined loaf pans.
