Time 1h10m

Yield 8 dumplings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups flour
1 cup shortening (such as Crisco)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup ice cold water
8 johnathan apples, peeled and cored
sugar
butter
cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Creating the pie dough:.
Blend flour, salt, and shortening together using a pastry cutter until the mixture is about the texture of corn meal.
Add 1/2 cup of ice cold water and mix the dough (I find using my hands for this is easiest). If dough is too dry, add a bit more water but sparingly.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into eight squares.
Filling the dumplings:.
Place one apple on a square of pie dough. Fill the apple with sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and dot with butter.
Bring corners of pie dough to top of apple and pinch shut.
Place finished dumplings in a 9x13 greased pan.
Syrup:.
Bring to boil sugar, water, and butter in a sauce pan. Boil for two minutes.
Pour syrup mixture around the dumplings.
Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Baste the dumplings with the syrup from the pan every 5 to 7 minutes.

Grandma's Chicken N Dumplings image

Provided by dlm2005sassy

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs (well beaten)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil
4 chicken bouillon cubes
4 (16 ounce) cans chicken broth, plus broth from boiled chicken
1 whole chicken (or preferred chicken parts)

Steps:

Boil chicken in enough water to cover adding the bouillon cubes when water begins boiling until chicken is fully cooked.
After chicken is done remove it from the broth and let cool.
Strain chicken broth, add canned broth and bring back to a boil.
Mix oil, flour and salt until crumbly, then add eggs and enough water until the dough is stiff enough to roll out.
Roll out thin, cut into strips, (I use a pizza cutter for this) and drop into BOILING broth immediately.
While dumplings are cooking, debone the chicken and add to dumplings just before dumplings are finished cooking.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
