Ingredients
·
4 large baking apples
·
The juice of 2 lemons
·
2 cups of sugar
·
1 cup of butter, not margarine
·
16 fluffy buttermilk biscuits from
a can (you know those things that you pull the paper and it pops open
·
2/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract (Not
imitation vanilla!)
·
8 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
·
2 cups of water
·
1 bowl of water
Directions
·
Preheat your oven to 375⁰F
·
Peel and core your apples and then
slice them into 8 slices, if possible use one of those apple slicer/corers to
do this
·
Take your bowl of water and mix the
lemon juice into it
·
Place your apple slices in this
bowl of water (This keeps your apples from turning brown and you can do this
with apples for fruit trays as well)
·
Mix 2 cups of water, 1 ½ cups of sugar, the butter, and vanilla in
a large saucepan to make a simple syrup
·
Using medium heat bring this
mixture to a boil
·
While this is boiling wrap each
slice of apple in one of the biscuits and pinch the ends and seams together
·
In two separate 9x12x2 inch baking
dish, or one that is twice that size, place the wrapped apples with the long seams facing the bottom
·
Mix the rest of the sugar with the
cinnamon and set aside
·
Pour the hot simple syrup over the
apples and sprinkle the sugar cinnamon mixture over the top
·
Bake in for about 35 minutes or
until they are golden brown
These particular dumplings are best served
warm. However, they are pretty good cold with coffee too. Hope you enjoy!
