Apple Dumplings

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Roll out the pie dough into strips about 6 by 4 inches and thin.

  2. Place a spoonful of stewed apples on each strip.

  3. Fold over the four corners and roll into a round ball.

Bake and serve

  1. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 45 minutes or until done.

  2. Serve hot with a white sauce made from sweet cream.
