Brookfield Orchards Apple Dumplings

Cortland apples are a good choice for this recipe according to the people at Brookfield Orchards. These dumplings also freeze well, they say. The recipe is simple: a formula for one dumping.

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Peel and core an apple and place it in the center of a square of puff pastry. Mix a tablespoon of sugar with cinnamon and nutmeg to taste, and pour the mixture into the center hole of the apple. Wrap the pastry around the apple, and place it in a baking pan. Bake for one hour or until the apple is cooked and crust is brown. Serve warm plain or with cheese, ice cream or whipped cream.

Yield: 1 serving
