Sorry about double post...I have asked for one to be removed.
I’m trying to find another recipe for you all.
APPLE DUMPLINGS WITH RICH CINNAMON SAUCE
* 5 tablespoons softened butter
* 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
* 4 apples (any variety but Red Delicious) peeled, halved, and cored, a thin sliver cut off bottoms so apples sit flat
* 1 (15 ounce) container 9-inch pie crusts
* 1 egg white
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 teaspoons cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mix 3 Tbs. of butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon and all the nuts in a small bowl. Spoon a portion of the mixture into each hollowed-out apple core.
3. For boxed pie crusts, unroll one of the dough sheets onto a floured work surface. Pulling on sides of dough to straighten rounded edges, roll it into an approximate 12-inch square, then cut the dough into four 6-inch squares; brush the perimeter of each square with egg white. Set an apple half on each square. Bring up the 4 corners of dough around the apple and pinch edges to seal. Place on a large (at least 18- by 12-inch) parchment-covered baking dish. Brush dumpling tops and sides with egg white; sprinkle with sugar. Repeat process with remaining apples and dough.
4. Bake dumplings until pastry sets and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes longer.
5. While apples bake, bring 1 cup water, the remaining 2 Tbs. butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon to boil in asmall saucepan over medium heat. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tsps. water; whisk into hot syrup for a smooth sauce. Cover, keep warm.
6. For each serving, spoon a portion of sauce on a dessert plate. Set apple dumpling over warm sauce; serve immediately.
Thanks for the link, Dolly.
The report and pictures are great and it sounds like you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for the recipes, Jaycee.
They both sound delicious.
I knew someone would come through. Thank you.
Great recipe, thank you! That looks like even I could bake them! Granny Smiths are best for this?
I keep smelling them!
Thanks Jaycee!
I told you to expect more “created” words.. Wait til my SIL arrives with 5 more cats..LOL
They don’t have room in the car for all eight..I think it’s a plot to “gift” me with some kitties..
Have a Restful Night, Dear FRiends, and God Bless.

“These are the ones my grandmother used to make: warm, flaky, apple-y sweet and drizzled with a sauce that bakes right with them. These are not difficult to make, just a little time-consuming. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.”
Old Fashioned Apple Dumplins
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe pastry for double-crust pie
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups water
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces.
Place an apple on each pastry square with the cored opening facing upward.
Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for sauce.
Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. Bring up the two remaining corners, and seal.
Slightly pinch the dough at the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. Place in prepared baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in a dessert bowl, and spoon some sauce over the top.

I know the feeling..Thank you for all the darling graphics..My daughter and I are both up and have our days and nights turned around.
I got offline after I posted those recipes and tried to get back on for remarks and couldn’t get on! Hope its fixed this time.
God Bless You, Yorkie! I love you....! I do!
You all are most welcome. I saw Yorkie’s recipe this morning and I am thrilled she posted her Recipe! Made my morning! I have missed her very much!
Guess you’ll have to put up a few nails to hang up all these kitties and people, Meg. You know what they say “the more the merrier”. You must be taking it all in with joy! Families are the joy of our life.
I told you the other day my son was on his way to Louisiana and he made it day before yesterday. He called me when he got there (I had asked him to). He called again last night after their first day’s work. His job is hard....they have to grade all the installations and work that has been done regarding cable, etc. He was a bit down last night because none had passed the grade. There are rules for grading and its your job to be truthful or you can be in big trouble.
He did say he was going to get some good cajun food while they were there.
After posting several things this morning, the site is running so smoothly, I don’t know what to do.
Thank you to Jim and John Robinson!
In 2004, Casey Fenton co-founded a nonprofit service that helps travelers find a “friendlier alternative” to unfriendly hotels. They find homeowners who are willing to offer their spare beds and couches to others.
The group boasts almost a quarter of a million friendships that have been formed from their service. “The more we network,” said Fenton, “the better chance we have of this world being a better place.”
That service sounds a lot like biblical hospitality. In the final pages of his letter to the Hebrews, the writer instructed believers to practice their faith in Jesus Christ through hospitality (13:2). That was defined by the early Christ-followers as acts of generosity toward strangers.
In the first century, hospitality often included housing a guest. This was hardest to do during a time of persecution. These believers would not know whether the person was a spy or a fellow believer being pursued. But by entertaining strangers, the writer said, they could indeed be inviting a blessing into their homes.
As God’s people, we are called to be hospitable to others as part of our gratitude for the salvation we have received from God.
Was getting ready to check out a while and saw your post come in. Thank you for our very nice Daily Bread this morning, as always, Mr. Mayor!
