Cómo preparar Apple Dumplings
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and halve 6 medium apples.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup of chilled, cubed shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 6 squares.
- Place an apple half on each dough square. Fold the pastry over the apple to completely enclose it.
- Arrange the apple dumplings in a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the apple dumplings in the casserole dish.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender. Brush the dumplings with additional sauce halfway through baking.
