Ingredients
- 6 large Granny Smith apples peeled and cored
- 1 double pie crust homemade or store bought
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg beaten
Sauce
- 1 cup apple juice or water
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice or cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 dish.
- Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll each into a 7" circle (or large enough to wrap your apples).
- In a small bowl mix butter, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Fill each apple core.
- Wrap pastry around each apple using a little bit of beaten egg to seal at the top. Pinch the sides to seal and place in the prepared pan.
- Combine juice, sugar, vanilla extract, apple pie spice and butter. Bring to a boil and let simmer 3-4 minutes.
- Pour over dumplings and bake about 40-45 minutes or until apples are soft and pastry is golden.

Notes
- Do not overbake or dumplings may burst.
- Raisins or chopped nuts can be added to the center of the apple.
- Leftovers (or make-ahead) can be covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
- Reheat for oven for 10 - 15 minutes in a foil-covered pan. Apple dumplings can also be reheated in the microwave but the crust will be soft instead of crisp.
