BAKED APPLE DUMPLINGS, BISCUIT DOUGH
Why this recipe works:Biscuit dough was easier to work with than pie dough for our Baked Apple Dumplings and did a great job of absorbing the liquid from the apples without getting mushy. Some apple varieties we found didn't cook through quickly enough, while others turned to mush. We settled on sweeter Golden Delicious, which had the perfect consistency when prepared correctly. We found no reason to bake the dumplings in syrup. To avoid a soggy mess, we made the sauce for our Baked Apple Dumplings separately and saved it for serving.

Steps:
- Make Dough Process flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in food processor until combined. Scatter butter and shortening over flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer to bowl. Stir in buttermilk until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead briefly until dough is cohesive. Press dough into 8- by 4-inch rectangle. Cut in half, wrap each half tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Prep Apples Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. In second bowl, combine butter, raisins, and 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mixture. Peel apples and halve through equator. Following photos 1 and 2, remove core and pack butter mixture into each apple half.
- Assemble Dumplings On lightly floured surface, roll each dough half into 12-inch square. Cut each 12-inch square into four 6-inch squares. Working one at a time, lightly brush edges of dough square with egg white and place apple, cut-side up, in center of each square. Following photo 3, gather dough one corner at a time on top of apple, crimping edges to seal. Using paring knife, cut vent hole in top of each dumpling.
- Finish Apples Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Following photo 4, arrange dumplings on prepared baking sheet, brush tops with egg white, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake until dough is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. Serve with Cider Sauce.
