How to Make Apple Dumpling Spirals
- **Make the sauce:** In a saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- **Set aside:** Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
- **Prepare the dough:** In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Cut in shortening:** Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Add milk:** Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup milk all at once.
- **Knead the dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about a dozen strokes until almost smooth.
- **Roll out the dough:** Roll the dough into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- **Assemble the spirals:** Peel and thinly slice about 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Spread the apple slices evenly over the dough rectangle.
- **Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar:** Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
- **Roll and slice:** Tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 12 (1-inch) slices.
- **Bake:** Arrange the slices in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Pour the sauce evenly over the spirals.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown.
