Calories: 585kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 267 grams
- 21/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2-3 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 7 ounces whole cranberry sauce
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in the butter, then add in the milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Split the dough into 8 balls. Roll out each ball of dough to a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of cranberry sauce in the center of each circle.
- Place 5-6 apple slices over the cranberry sauce.
- Fold the dough around the apples and press it together gently to form a ball.
- Set the dumplings in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon and cloves. Heat it just until it barely starts boiling, stirring often. Pour this mixture over the dumplings and bake them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the dough is golden brown.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
