Apple Dumplings
Makes 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
- 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Nutmeg, Ground
- 1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 4 apples, such as Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and halved
- 8 teaspoons butter, divided
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Mix cinnamon and nutmeg in small bowl. Prepare crusts as directed on package. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly on surface of each crust. Cut each crust into 4 equal pieces. Place 1 apple half in center of each piece of crust. Fill center of each apple half with 1 teaspoon of the butter. Carefully fold crust up over apple half, pinching seams together to seal. Place dumplings, seam-side down, in greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
2. Bring sugar, water and 2 tablespoons butter to boil in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla; set aside.
3. Bake dumplings about 10 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Pour sauce over dumplings. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
