Ingredients

6 servings

•

cooking spray
•

6 medium baking apples, peeled and cored
•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

⅔ cup shortening

•

½ cup milk
•

3 cups brown sugar, divided
•

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•

2 cups water
•

¼ cup butter
•

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Set apples aside in a cold water bath while you prepare the dough.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut together with a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly. Add milk and stir until dough comes together.
Combine 1 cup brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Separate dough into six equal portions and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place an apple in the center of each dough portion and fill the core with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Wrap each apple in dough and place into the prepared pan.
Combine remaining brown sugar, water, butter, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over dumplings.
Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown and apples are soft, about 40 minutes.
