Instructions
Make pastry and chill/ Then just before assembling dumplings, turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll out. Cut into 6 squares large enough to make an envelope or case for each apple. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Set out a 12 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Working with one apple at a time, fill with butter, sugar and cinnamon and set in the center of a pastry square; fold the pastry up around the apple and press the seams together to make a dumpling. Arrange dumplings in the baking dish, leaving space between apples. Prepare syrup and pour it boiling hot over the dumplings. Bake, basting frequently, until syrup is absorbed and dumplings have browned about 1 hour. Remove from oven. Set on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold with or without cream on top.
Double Crust Pastry- In a medium sized bowl, combine 2 cups flour, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in 3/4 cup cold butter or margarine until the mixture resembles grains of corn. Sprinkle 1 1/4 cups cold water over the mixture and mix with a fork until all particles cling together to form a ball. Chill until needed.
Syrup- In a saucepan, heat 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and 2 Tablespoons butter until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over dumplings.
