Apple Dumplings


This is one of those recipes that I make sure I always have the ingredients on hand, just in case I need to make a quick dessert! They are super easy to make, and everyone loves them!



  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 2 small tart apples, peeled and cored
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons butter, divided
    GLAZE:
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2% milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extra
  • Using a sharp knife, cut pastry sheet in half. Return half to the freezer. Thaw remaining pastry. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 14-in. x 7-in. rectangle. Cut into two 7-in. squares.
  • Place an apple on each square. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Spoon into center of each apple; top each with 1 teaspoon butter. Gently bring up corners of pastry to center; pinch edges to seal. Place in a shallow 3-cup baking dish coated with cooking spray. Melt remaining butter; brush over pastry.
  • Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until apple is tender and pastry is golden brown. In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Drizzle over dumplings. Serve warm.
