14 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 medium baking apples
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon half-and-half cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Red Hots or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Additional half-and-half cream, optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in water until dough forms a ball. Roll out on a floured surface to a 14x7-in. rectangle; cut pastry in half.
  2. 2
    Peel and core apples; place one on each square of pastry. Combine sugar and cinnamon; spoon into apples. Moisten edges of pastry with water and gather around apples; pinch seams to seal.
  3. 3
    Place dumplings in an ungreased 9x5-in. loaf pan or a shallow 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Brush with cream.
  4. 4
    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, Red Hots, cornstarch, water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently; boil for 2 minutes. Pour between dumplings.
  5. 5
    Bake until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender, 35-45 minutes. Serve warm, with cream if desired.
