Apple Dumpling

[CherylL]

My first attempt at making the dumplings. Next time I will use smaller apples and increase the sugar. I guessed at the sugar mixture.

I'm shacked up with a killer baker. My attempts with pastry were epic fails. Those are pretty. Mine looked like WW I grenades that failed factory inspection. Bravo!

So did they pass the taste test?

Despite her other shortcomings, DW is an excellent cook. Since food is at the very top of my most important qualities list, I've overlooked those pesky shortcomings for 45 yrs.

Thanks All sending virtual batches out to you! They did pass the taste test. Needed more sugar & spices. Tonight I'll add a caramel drizzle.

Can you ship a couple up to Canada? You know for international exposure

These are beautiful, Cheryl! I love the added artistry of the leaves on top.

Baked apples are a favorite of mine anyway, and this just elevates them. Yummy!!

Thanks Terri! I add leaves to my pumpkin pie crusts too.

I worked as a baker some time ago.... I would suggest you skip on the hydrogenated fat and use just butter. Or margarine even. I would also use yeast with yeast starter for soft but chewy texture.

unbleached all purpose flour
very refined white sugar
hot water 43"c
instant yeast
yeast starter, like 2 rounded teaspoons
and knead until the bread when stretched looks a bit transparent and stretchy



I would go overboard on the sugar btw.
