Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Apple or Pear Dumplings (Use either apples or firm but ripe pears) 6 servings 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold real butter about 1/2 cup cold water 3 pared and cored apples or firm pears 1 beaten egg 1/2 cup caramel sauce or sorghum 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup water Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In processor, make pastry crust. (watch me). Roll out 1/8 inch thick. With pastry cutter, cut out three 7 inch squares, 6 strips that are 6 inches long and 3/4 inches wide, and three 1 inch circles. Place an apple on each of the squares and bring up the points of dough to the top of each apple or pear, forming 4 ears. Now, over each dumpling, lay two strips of dough, crosswise, then top with a pastry circle. Brush dumplings with the egg, and place in a shallow baking dish. In batter bowl, combine the caramel sauce, (or sorghum) butter, sugar, and water. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave another 1-2 minutes, or until mixture has boiled and the sugar is dissolved. Pour the syrup over the apples or pears. Bake 40 minutes, or until fruit is tender, spooning the sauce over them from time to time. Allow to stand 10-15 minutes before serving. Cut in half to serve 6, or leave whole to serve 3.
