Ingredients
For the dumplings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 1/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
- 2 apples (I like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
For the sauce
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup apple cider*
Instructions
To make the dumplings
- Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the cold butter, and pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- With the food processor running on low speed, drizzle in the milk until the dough gathers itself into a ball.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly, and chill in the refrigerator.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into eighths.
- Roll the dough out to a rough rectangle shape, about 15-inches x 10-inches.
- Cut into 16 long, skinny triangles, wrap each around a wedge of apple, and place the dumplings in a 2.5-quart baking dish.
To make the sauce
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan, and cook over low heat until bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the dumplings, and then drizzle the apple cider all around the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake the dumplings for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are soft.
