Here's the recipe! Enjoy ~

Ingredients: 

dough

  3 Cups (384g) flour (plus extra for work surface)  

  1 tsp (5.7g) salt   

  1.5 sticks (3/4 cups) (255g) butter cubed  

  ¾ cup (177ml) ice water

filling

  6 Tart Apples chopped (Granny Smith, Rome, or Honey Crisp)  

 1 TSP (4g) ground cinnamon 

 ½ TSP (2g) Ground nutmeg 

  2 TBSP (25g) sugar 

  2 TBSP (25g) melted butter  

  2 cups (680g) brown sugar  

  1 2/4 cups (296ml) water 

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Using a fork (or pastry blender) cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly with pea-sized pieces. 1 TBSP at a time add ice water to the mixture and mix with the fork until the mixture holds together. If the dough is still crumbly add a little more ice water.

2. Using a knife remove 1/3 of the dough and place in the fridge (keep dough cold). Next, flour the countertop and using a rolling pin (or hands) flatten out the dough evenly into a 6inch by 6 inch square and then divide (cut) into 4 squares. Remove the 1/3 piece of dough from the fridge and flatten out evenly into a 6inch by 12 inch rectangle then divide into two squares. You should have 6 squares of dough in total. Place the squares of dough on parchment lined baking pan and cover it with a plastic wrap then place it in the fridge. 

3. In a small bowl mix the chopped apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter.  

4. Place the apple mixture onto the center of each square of dough. Moisten the edges of the square with a little bit of water and fold in the corners of the square and pinch them together along with the edges. Place the dumplings in a glass or metal dish.

5. In a saucepan, while stirring, bring to a boil the brown sugar and 1 2/4 cups water for about 5 minutes. Once the sugar syrup is done, pour the syrup around the dumplings. 

6. Bake for 30 minutes while occasionally basting the syrup over the apples about 2 times. Apple dumplings will be ready when the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender (pierce with toothpick to check).
