Apple Dumplings – Recipe for Okanagan Bombs
Apple Dumplings
Ingredients
- Pastry to make one pie divided into 4 rounds rolled out to an eighth of an inch.
- 4 apples, peeled and cored (use your favourite Okanagan apple – Gala, Macintosh, Spartan, Golden all work well as they will break down appropriately).
- Sugar and cinnamon for sprinkles
- Flour for dusting
- Filling mix (it can be your favourite jam, mincemeat or a butter/raisin/nut mixture be creative).
Instructions
Prepare the filling mix:
- 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped toasted pecans
- 1-2 chopped dried figs, squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Try not to eat it all before stuffing the apples!
Step 1 – Measure 2 tbsp per apple.
Step 2 – Roll out a round of pie dough onto floured surface, sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon, place the cored apple in the centre of the round.
Step 3 – Fill the hole with your choice of yummy mixture.
Step 4 – Pleat the dough around the apple, squeezing together lightly on top to hold.
Step 5 – Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set, brush with a whisked egg, sprinkle with more sugar and cinnamon if desired and bake on a sheet at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown.
Step 6 – Serve with vanilla gelato or ice cream and a mint leaf to replicate the apple leaf.
