Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
-
Take each peeled and cored apple and place it on a clean surface. Fill the cavity of each apple with a spoonful of the sugar mixture and top with a few pieces of butter.
-
Roll out the pie crusts and cut each into thirds. Place an apple in the center of each pastry strip.
-
Fold the pie crust over the apple, sealing the seams and tucking the edges underneath. Place the dumplings seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
-
Brush the tops of the dumplings with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture.
-
Bake the apple dumplings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
-
Remove the dumplings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve the apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
