Make crust for two-crust pie. Roll out and cut into 6 (7inch squares) Peel & core six good size apples. Set
each apple in the center of a square of pastry. Fill apple core cavities with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg mixture.
Put a dab of butter on top of each apple. Bring four corners of the square of pastry up over the top of the
apple and overlap. Place dumplings in a baking dish with a little room between them.
Make a hot syrup of sugar, water, butter and spices. Stir and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
Take one cup of mixture and pour over apples. Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes. Save the rest of the
syrup and pour over dumplings just before serving.
