Diva’s Memories of Recipes Baked Apple dumplings
Inspiration:  I like tart apples to make these.  Always had plenty of apples growing up in Nebraska.
Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 2/3 cup butter 1/2 cup milk 6 apples, cored & halved SYRUP 2 cups brown sugar 4 TB butter 2 cups water cinnamon nutmeg	Instructions: Sift together first 3 ingredients and cut in butter.  Gradually add milk until dough is dry enough to roll out.  Roll to 1/4 inch thickness.  Cut into 12 squares. Place a half apple on each and press to seal edges around the apple.  Place in shallow baking dish. SYRUP Cook the brown sugar, butter and water in a heavy saucepan. Boil 2 mins.  Pour over apples and top with cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.
Variation: Yields 12 servings Can be served warmed with a scoop of ice cream. Some people add raisins on top of the apple before sealing.
