Apple Dumplings
Report
Old-Fashioned Apple Dumplings are made with sweet cinnamon-sugar apples wrapped up in an easy, flaky pastry and baked in a homemade cinnamon syrup. We love them served warm with a scoop of ice cream and some caramel syrup to drizzle over the top!

Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 6 Tablespoons shortening
- 1/2 cup milk
Filling
- 6 medium-sized apples peeled and cored
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and shortening in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step can also be done in a food processor. Add the milk and stir with a fork just until the dough clumps together. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge.
- Peel and core the apples using a paring knife or apple peeler.
- Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into large squares and place an apple in the center of each square. Divide the butter, sugar, and cinnamon evenly between each of the apples.
- Wrap the pastry up around each apple, pinching the edges together to seal. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Make the syrup by combining the water, sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the butter is melted and the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the hot syrup over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and the apples pierce easily with a sharp knife. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Any good baking apple will work for this recipe. We particularly like braeburn, honeycrisp, golden delicious, granny smith, envy, pink lady, and fuji apples for apple dumplings.
