Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings
INGREDIENTS:
2 Refrigerated pie crusts
4 Granny smith apples cored
6 Tbsp. Butter unsalted
½ C. Brown sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp. Nutmeg
2 C. Water
1 ½ C. Granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp. Vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Roll the pie crusts out flat and cut each one in half.
Place a cored apple in the center of each piece of pie crust.
Stuff each apple with 1 tbsp butter, set the remaining 2 tbsp of butter aside.
Fill the center of each apple with some brown sugar, and sprinkle the rest of it evenly between the four apples at their base on the pie crust.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
Fold the edges of the pie crust up and around the apple, pinching the edges closed as you go.
Place the covered apples in a well greased 9×9 baking dish.
On the stove, bring the water, granulated sugar, vanilla and remaining butter to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes stirring often.
Pour the sauce mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 50 minutes and serve.
