Apple Dumplings

Perfect dessert, and leftovers can be breakfast the next morning.

-------------------------------------

1 Cup whole wheat Flour 1 Cup unbleached white flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
2/3 (two thirds) Cups Butter
1/2 (one half) Cup Whole Milk 6 Hand picked Apples (about 3 inch diameter) Preheat the oven to 375° Lightly grease a 9" x 13" x 1½" baking dish. Place flour, baking powder and salt in medium size bowl and mix it together with a fork. Chop butter into small squares and cut into the flour mixture. Add Milk and knead into a dough. Roll out the dough 12" x 18". Cut into 6 - 6"x6" squares. Meanwhile, peel and core your apples. If you use a spiral machine, that's great, the apples will cook thoroughly. Otherwise, cut your apples in half. Place the apples in the center of one of the dough squares. Stick 1 small pad of butter on top of the apple, and sprinkle some sucanat and cinnamon on top. Now wrap up the dough around the apple and stick it on your casserole. Do this for the remaining apples. Make a sauce to go on top: (Optional, great without) 1 Cup Sucanat 1 Cup Water 1/8 (one eighth) Teaspoon Cinnamon 2 Tablespoons Butter Place the sucanat, water, & cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to boiling point. Add butter or margarine and stir until melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the sauce on top of the apple dumplings before you put them in the oven. Cook the dumplings for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
