Servings

1

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, diced
• 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• pinch of ground cloves
• pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 package refrigerated piecrust
• 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. In a medium sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples to the pan and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, spices, and salt, and continue to cook the apples for about 5 to 8 minutes stirring occasionally until the apples are even browned and soft. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, and add to the pan stirring. Allow the liquid to come to a boil for at least 30 seconds. Once the apples are soft and the sugar, cornstarch, and water have formed a syrup, remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients, and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until a sauce thickens. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the two piecrusts into a total of 8 pieces. Roll the each piece into a thin circle. Place a tablespoon or 2 of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Then fold the crust in half and seal with a fork, crimping the edges. Brush each dumpling with butter and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon the sauce over top the dumplings and serve.
