- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Prepare the Apples
- Peel and core the apples carefully. Keep them whole. This helps hold the filling later. Place them aside while you prepare the dough.
Make the Dough
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Add butter and mix until crumbly. Pour in milk slowly. Mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Roll the Dough
- Roll the dough on a flat surface. Cut into equal squares. Each square should be large enough to wrap one apple completely.
Wrap the Apples
- Place one apple in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough around it. Seal the edges well. Place them in a greased baking dish.
Prepare the Syrup
- In a saucepan, mix sugar, water, cinnamon and butter. Heat until sugar dissolves. Add vanilla at the end. This syrup gives sweetness and moisture.
Bake the Dumplings
- Pour hot syrup over the wrapped apples. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes. The dough should turn golden and apples become soft.
Serve Warm
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Spoon extra syrup over dumplings before serving. Serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use green apples for a tangy taste
- Add nuts inside apples for crunch
- Sprinkle sugar on top before baking
- Use ready-made dough for quick version
- Add caramel sauce for extra sweetness
- Serve with vanilla ice cream
