APPLE DUMPLINGS

Here it is Ron.  Enjoy!

Ron asked for an Apple Dumpling Recipe.  I believe this one was put out by Crisco.  I have been using it for years.

SAUCE
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 tbls butter Put all ingred. except butter in a small saucepan.  bring to boiling.  Add butter.  Remove from heat and set aside.

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2/3 cups crisco
1/2 cup of milk

Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9"x13"x1 1/2" baking dish.
Put flour, baking powder and salt in med sized bowl and mix with a fork.  Add shortening and cut into flour.  Add milk all at once and use a fork to blend in.  Roll out large enough to cut into 6 pieces.  Peel
6 apples and core them.  Cut in half.  Cut the dough into 6 pieces.  Put half of the apple on the dough, fill with some sugar,  cinnamon and nutmeg. Put a pat of butter on top.  Put the other half on top .  Fold up the four corners of the dough and pinch together.  Make sure it is well sealed.  (Brush the edges of the dough with a little water, this will make it seal tight).  Place apples in baking dish, pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Yummy
