Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious and Braeburn are great apple
varieties for these homey pastries.

Stir together flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut
in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Using a fork,
gradually stir in milk until mixture comes together. Press
dough into a flat 5" to 6" square, wrap in plastic and
refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

Adjust rack to lower third of oven; preheat oven to
375øF/190øC.

Mix the butter, sugar and nuts in a small bowl. Stuff each
cored apple with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12 x 18-inch
rectangle; trim edges just to make even. Cut dough into
six 6-inch squares. Center an apple on each square. Lift
the sides of the pastry to the center of each apple, pinch
the seams to seal well and cover each apple completely.
Arrange the apples seam side down on an ungreased
jelly-roll pan.

Roll out any dumpling pastry trimmings and using a knife,
cut out leaf shapes. Lightly brush apple dumplings with
milk; place leaf shapes on them. With the tines of a fork,
prick the dough.

Bake for about 35 minutes, or until apples are tender and
crust is golden. Serve warm with Butterscotch Sauce.

Butterscotch Sauce: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine
brown sugar, cream, syrup butter over medium heat. Stir
until mixture reaches a simmer, then reduce to low heat
and cook 3 minutes. Off the heat, add 1 tablespoon brandy,
if desired. Serve warm.

Makes about 1 cup sauce.

Makes 6 dumplings.
