Apple Dumplings

 I took my girls to the apple orchard the other day. As usual we came home with way to many apples and now I need to find something to make all with them. I started with these delicious apple dumplings!

Apple Dumplings

Ingredients needed:

• 6 apples ( I used Cortland)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 2 1/2 Tablespoons of butter, softened
• pie crust ( the kind with 2 in a pkg)
• egg
• sugar

In a small bowl mix cinnamon, nutmeg and butter. Set aside.

Core apples

 Peel Apples

Open up your pie dough and roll out to make larger. Cut your crust into 4 pieces

Put apple in the center of dough. Fill with cinnamon mixture.

Fold pie crust up around the apple.

Mix a beaten egg with 1 Tbsp of water.

Brush apples with egg mixture. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 min.

My apples were really large for the pie crust so I suggest if you are using large apples to have another pie crust to use.
