Apple Dumplings

Ingredients

• 4 boiling apples (such as codlings)
• Pastry for apple pudding
• Coarse sea salt (formerly 'bay salt')

Directions

1. Peel the apples, cut them in half, and remove the cores.

2. Roll out the pastry and cut it into pieces large enough to cover each apple.

3. Wrap each apple in the pastry and tie them tightly in cloths.

4. Boil the dumplings gently for 1 hour, or place them on a flat dish and bake until done.

5. To serve, place a plate under a colander, untie the cloths, and turn the dumplings onto the plate.
