How to Make Apple Dumpling Dessert
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one-fourth of the dough into a 13x9 inch rectangle. Carefully transfer it to the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
- Arrange one-third of the sliced apples (about 3 cups) over the pastry.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle one-third of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples.
- Repeat layers of pastry, apples, and cinnamon-sugar two more times, ending with a layer of pastry.
- Roll out the remaining dough to fit the top of the dish and place it over the apple layers.
- Using a sharp knife, cut 2-inch slits across the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the syrup evenly over the top crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired!
