Ingredients
For The Crust
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons butter unsalted, cold and cut into cubes
- 8 tablespoons shortening cold and cut into cubes
- 6 tablespoons ice water or more as needed
For Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For Dumplings
- 4 medium apples peeled, cut half in and cored
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted, cut into 8 pieces
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Crust
- Start by making the crust. Add the flour, salt, butter, shortening to the bowl of your mixer and mix to incorporate. Start adding a little bit of water at a time, and keep adding until the dough starts to come together. You can also do this in your food processor.
- Dump the dough onto your work surface and divide it into 2 pieces. Wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Syrup
- Add all the syrup ingredients together in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat down to a simmer and let the syrup reduce to about half, should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Assemble and Bake
- Peel the apples, cut them in half and remove the core. In a small bowl mix together the 3 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Take 2 tablespoons of butter, cut it into 8 small pieces and roll each piece in the sugar cinnamon mixture. Place each butter piece in the center of each apple.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out one of the pieces of crust and cut it out into 4 pieces. Each piece of has to be big enough to folder over the apple completely. Fold the crust over the apples, use a bit of water if necessary to wet your finger and run it along the edge of the crust. Pinch off any excess dough.
- Pour about a ladle of the brown sugar syrup into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the apple dumplings in the baking dish and pour the remaining syrup over the apples.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until the apple dumplings are golden brown. Let the dumplings cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Choose Firm Apples: I recommend using apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp; they hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors.
- Chill the Dough: Don't skip chilling the dough—it makes it easier to roll out and results in a flakier crust.
- Customize the Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor.
- Leftover Syrup: If you have leftover brown sugar syrup, drizzle it over the dumplings when serving or save it to top pancakes or waffles.
- Serving Suggestion: These dumplings are best warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.
