Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 8-ounce Golden Delicious apples, peeled
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream, divided
4 purchased refrigerated uncooked large flaky biscuits (from 16.3-ounce tube), room temperature
1 large egg, beaten to blend

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Using melon baller, core apples, leaving bottoms intact. Place in glass pie dish, spacing apart. Microwave uncovered at 50 percent power until tender, about 10 minutes. Refrigerate 5 minutes to cool.
Meanwhile, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar to small saucepan. Add raisins and 3 tablespoons heavy cream and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Combine 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar and remaining heavy cream in medium bowl and whisk to peaks. Cover and refrigerate. Roll out each biscuit on floured surface to thin 8-inch round; brush lightly with egg. Place apple in center of each round; fill apples with raisin mixture, overfilling slightly. Pull 4 sides of dough up to top of apple (from 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions) and twist in center, making apple stem shape. Using fingertips, press seams tightly to seal. Transfer dumplings to baking sheet. Brush dumplings with egg; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake dumplings until golden, about 18 minutes. Serve with cinnamon whipped cream.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

SYRUP
1 3/4 c packed, brown sugar - i use dark
2 1/4 c very hot water
1 1/2 Tbsp butter
DUMPLINGS
1 c packed, brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter, softened
2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
3/4 c milk
3/4 c pecans, in pieces

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a 9 x 13 baking dish...mix the brown sugar, water...add butter, and place dish in preheated oven. Prepare dumplings.
2. In a medium bowl; mix dumpling ingredients until thoroughly combined...if too thick, add a bit more milk, just enough to incorporate the dry ingredients.
3. Now, take pan from oven...make sure butter is melted into the syrup...stir around a little. Using a tablespoon, place heaping dollops of dough into the hot syrup. You should get 12 dumpling, 3 per row. Sprinkle with pecans, if using, sometimes I put them into the syrup first. It doesn't matter.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until dumplings are completely cooked.
5. Place dumplings into serving dish, and ladle desired amount of syrup over the dumpling, and ice cream if using...it's delicious!
