How to Make Apple Dumplings Ala Pat

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
3. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 2 pounds) into 1/2-inch thick slices.
4. Toss apple slices in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until evenly coated.
5. Use 16 refrigerated biscuits or pie crust pieces. Place 1-2 apple slices in the center of each biscuit/crust piece.
6. Wrap the dough around the apples, sealing the edges tightly. (If using pie crust, you may need to use a bit of water to seal).
7. Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
8. Dip each apple dumpling into the melted margarine, ensuring all sides are coated.
9. Arrange the coated dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
10. Sprinkle any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture over the dumplings.
11. Pour 1 cup Sprite evenly over the dumplings.
12. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
13. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened.
14. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
15. Serve warm and enjoy! Makes 16 dumplings.
