4 servings Prep: 25 mins(plus chilling) Bake: 1 hr
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 stick (4 ounces) butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 small baking apples (1-1/2 pounds)--peeled, cored and halved lengthwise
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Using a food processor, pulse the flour, butter and salt until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle 1/2 cup water on the dough and pulse to blend.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and flatten into disks; wrap each one in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. On a floured surface, roll each disk out into a 9-inch round.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Place half an apple, cut side up, in the center of each dough round. Fill each apple with one-quarter of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top each with another apple half, cut side down. Pull the dough up around the apple. Pinch the dough together to seal.
- Place the dumplings, seam side down, in a lightly greased baking dish and bake until light-golden, about 1 hour. Transfer to plates and spoon any syrup from the dish over the apples. Serve warm with the ice cream.
