Easy apple dumplings made with pie crust, cinnamon, and sugar, served with vanilla ice cream for a fabulous fall dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 0.25 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 4 apples (any variety but Red Delicious) peeled, halved, and cored, a thin sliver cut off bottoms so apples sit flat
  • 1 (15 ounce) container 9-inch pie crusts
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and position the rack in the lower-middle. Line a large (at least 18- by 12-inch) baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Combine 3 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and chopped nuts in a small bowl. Fill each hollowed-out apple core with the mixture.
  • Unroll one dough sheet on a floured surface and shape it into a 12-inch square. Cut it into four 6-inch squares and brush each square's perimeter with egg white. Place an apple half on each square, then fold the corners of the dough around the apple and seal the edges. Transfer to a baking dish. Brush the dumplings with egg white, sprinkle with white sugar, and repeat with the rest of the apples and dough.
  • Bake dumplings in a preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to a boil. Whisk together 2 teaspoons water and cornstarch, then stir into the hot syrup for a smooth sauce. Cover and keep warm.
  • To serve: Gently ladle warm sauce onto a dessert plate, place apple dumpling on top, and enjoy right away.
