Apple Dumplings

Ingredients

• Pie crust

  Cookie-type, prepared from recipe, graham cracker, baked

  900g

• Apples

  Without skin

  6 medium or 966g

• Raisins

  Golden seedless

  ³⁄₁₆ cup (not packed) or 27g

• Walnuts

  Nuts, black, dried

  3 tbsp or 23g

• Brown sugar

  2 cup packed or 440g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  1 cup or 237g

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425 F. Prepare pastry as directed except roll 2/3 of the dough into a 14" square; cut into 4 squares. Roll remaining dough into a 14x7\" rectangle and cut in half. Place an apple in the center of each square. Mix the raisins and nuts together and fill center of each apple. Moisten the corners of the squares and bring 2 opposing corners of pastry up over the apple and press together tightly. Fold the sides of the remaining corners (as if wrapping a package); bring corners up over apple and press together. Place the dumplings (not touching each other) in a large ungreased baking dish. Heat the brown sugar and water to boiling and carefully pour around the dumplings. Spoon syrup over dumplings 2 or 3 times during baking (I used a baster) and bake for about 40 minutes or until the crust is golden and apples are tender. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
