sugar, approximately 1/2 cup, for sprinkling apples
cinnamon
nutmeg
butter, cut in small pieces
Instructions
Combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add milk, stirring to make a soft dough. Roll dough into a 1/8 inch thick rectangle on a lightly floured surface; cut into 5-inch squares.
Place pieces of apple (to be equivalent to 1/2 apple) on each square. Sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg to taste; dot with butter. Moisten edges of each dumpling with water; bring corners to center, pinching edges to seal.
Place dumplings 1 inch apart in a lightly greased shallow baking dish. Pour 1 cup syrup over dumplings. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Pour the rest of syrup over dumplings.
