How To Make The Perfect Apple Dumplings - Jelly Roll Style

My grandmother passed away several years ago, but my memories of baking with her will live in my heart forever. When I was in my early twenties, we spent an entire fall weekend baking some delicious apple dumplings. For the next 15 years, we would get together one weekend in October and spend time together baking dumplings, cakes and apple pies.

The following recipe is easy to make since it's made jelly-roll style. I like to make double batches of this recipe and freeze my baked second batch.

Nana's Apple Dumplings

Apples

5 large apples
cinnamon and sugar

Syrup

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter

Dough

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
6 tablespoons milk

In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients listed for the syrup. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, let cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter and baking powder to make the dough. In a separate bowl combine the egg and milk together. Pour this mixture into the dough. Mix until well blended.

Make one big ball of dough and roll out onto a floured surface or a dough board, until it measures 1/4" thick. Peel and core apples and then cut into slices. Layer the slices over the dough surface. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up the dough...jelly-roll style. Cut the roll into 1" sections. Pour the syrup mixture into a 13 x 9" jelly roll pan. Place the 1" sections into the syrup mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Serving - You can serve the apple dumplings warm from the oven or cold with milk poured over top.
