A Fall Must!

I have made it my personal quest to find the best ever Apple Dumpling.....Baked Apple....

in the whole world...and I think this just may be it!

It is the perfect taste of Fall....and it left our home smelling very good!

Baked Apples To Die For

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup quick oats

pinch of salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 stick unsalted room temperature butter

8 Granny Smith Apples

Ready to use pie crust (dough)

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in the food processor again), mix together all ingredients for the filling.

Using an apple peeler/slicer machine, peel, slice and core the apples.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut

dough in fourths. Roll a piece of dough out to make an 8 inch circle and place one of the apples in the center. Stuff the middle of the apple with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling and pull the dough up the sides, using water to make the dough stick and seal in the apple.

Place a small amount of the filling on the top. Repeat with remaining apples and place in a large cast iron skillet or casserole dish.

Brush the tops of the apples with cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Sprinkle some of the leftover filling in and around the apples, and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the pastry is golden brown.

Serve warm with lots of vanilla ice cream! YUM!!
