Apple Dumplings

Yield: Serves 6

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup cold water
6 small apples, pared and cored
1 1/2 cups sugar (divided use)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (divided use)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups water, plus more to dampen edges of dough

Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon
at a time, until all flour is moistened. On a floured surface, roll
out dough to an 18-inch-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut into 6-inch
squares.
Place an apple in center of each square. In a small bowl, combine 1/2
cup to 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon about 2
tablespoons of this mixture in the center of each apple.
Top each with 1 teaspoon of butter. Moisten edges of dough with a
little water. Bring corners to center, pressing center along edges to
seal. Place the dumplings in a 13-inch-by-9-inch-by- 2-inch pan.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine remaining cinnamon, sugar and 2 cups of water in a saucepan.
Heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Pour syrup around, not over, the
dumplings in pan.
Bake 40 minutes to 45 minutes.
