directions

Step 1

In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening. Pour in milk; using hands, wooden spoon or stand mixer, knead into smooth dough. Turn dough out onto floured surface; divide into 6 to 8 pieces. Roll out each large enough to wrap around 1 apple half. Place 1 apple half on each piece of dough, cut side up.

Step 2

In small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar. Spoon sugar mixture into each apple hollow. Wet edges of dough, pinch together to seal over apple.

Step 3

Place dumplings on greased baking sheet. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until apples are tender, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

While dumplings are baking, in medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) water, brown sugar and butter to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Serve dumplings warm with Brown Sugar Sauce drizzled over top.
