• 1.5 lb. apples, sliced (OXO mandoline recommended)
• butter, sugar and cinnamon (see directions)
• Dough:
• 2 C. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3/4 C. butter
• 1/2 C. milk
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• Syrup:
• 1 C. hot water
• 2 C. sugar

Combine dough ingredients and mix (I put it all in my mixer bowl and use a dough hook and let it do itself)

Roll out on floured surface to desired thickness (they will rise a little when they bake, so how thick you make them depends on how much dough you like - I like dough, so I make them a little thicker) and cut into 9 squares.

Place a dot of butter, sprinkle of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon inside each square of dough. Place peeled, sliced apples in the center of each square and fold edges up, pinching together to seal it. Place each one folded side down into an 8 or 9 inch square pan.

For the syrup, combine hot water and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Pour over dumplings, making sure to get some on the tops of each one. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
