Apples Apples Everywhere!
Fall and apples go hand in hand and I love anything cooked with apples. All month I will post apple recipes that will be sure to make a happy table! Be sure to check out my events page on Facebook too and see where the local Apple Festivals are!
Apple Dumplings
This is a vintage recipe from Mrs. Cecil Jordan.
Ingredients
- 5 large Apples
- 1/2 cup Shortening
- 1 cup Flour
- Pinch Salt
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- dash Cinnamon
- dash Cloves
- dash Cardamom
- dot Butter
- 2 tbl Butter
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
- Because this is a vintage recipe the author said to bake in a moderate oven. Not sure what that temperature is so I am going to say 350°.
- Pare, core and cut into small cubes 5 large apples.
- Make a pastry by mixing 1-4 cup shortening, 1 cup flour, pinch salt and enough cold water to hold dough together. Roll this dough very thin, leaving it in one large piece.
- Spread apples over this with 1-2 cup sugar and dash of cinnamon and cloves. Roll this into a long round roll, like a jelly roll. Slice off pieces about 2 1-2 inches thick and place in a deep buttered pan. Sprinkle over this 1-2 cup sugar and dot with butter.
- Place in moderate oven until pastry is brown, then pour over this a sauce made by cooking 1-2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoonful flour, 2 tablespoonfuls butter and 2 cups water. Put back in oven and cook slowly for 10 minutes.
