Apple Dumplings with Sauce

These warm and comforting Apple Dumplings are great by themselves or served with ice cream. You can decorate each dumpling by cutting 1-inch leaves and a 1/2-inch stem from the leftover dough. —Robin Lendon, Cincinnati, Ohio

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/3 cup cold water
8 medium tart apples, peeled and cored
8 teaspoons butter
9 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar, divided
SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until
crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms
a ball. Divide into eight portions. Cover and refrigerate for at
least 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
Roll each portion of dough between two lightly floured sheets of
waxed paper into a 7-in. square. Place an apple on each square.
Place 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar in the center
of each apple.
Gently bring up corners of pastry to each center; pinch edges to
seal. If desired, cut out apple leaves and stems from dough scraps;
attach to dumplings with water. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in.
