Apple Dumplings in a Mason Jar

It’s a cool, rainy day, and I thought what better treat than an apple dumpling. Apple dumplings are a family favourite around here, especially in the fall when fresh Ontario apples are at their peak. I love them in mason jars, perfect for gift giving too. They’re best served warm, and I like to add a little scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you’re making them ahead of time, just re-heat in the microwave before serving -easy peasy.

I’ve shared the family recipe before here, made in a large family style casserole dish. I have one little secret though, that makes my version a little different from my Mom’s and my Grandma’s. I use frozen pie pastry, shhhh, don’t tell. That means instead of this being a once in while, Sunday dinner kind of a treat, you can make it anytime, cause it’s really easy. 😉

Apple Dumplings

(makes 6 Dumplings)

Ingredients:

  • One frozen pie shell, defrosted -or make your own 😉
  • 2 Macintosh Apples, peeled and quartered to make six pieces (2 leftover for munching)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg

Method:

1. Peel the apples and cut into quarters, removing the core.

2. Wrap 6 pieces of apple in pie dough, trying not to overlap the dough, but making sure the apple is completely covered.

And then place one in each little mason jar.

3. Mix sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Add butter. Slowly add boiling water, and whisk out any lumps of flour.

4. Divide the sauce evenly into the 6 mason jars, and sprinkle with cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg.

5. Place the jars on a pan, to make them easier to manage, and bake at 350 for about 45 min. Let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.

    I tried this for a party and was thrilled that I could bake them ahead of time and keep them warm in a regular cooler wrapped in a towel. By the time we were ready to eat them they were the perfect temperature! It was super quick and easy and was a real treat for our guests.

Instagram post 2192599784036855556_202589158 It’s Home Tour Day on the blog!!! 🙌🏻. I’m so excited to share my home with you all decorated for Christmas. I didn’t even know which picture to share with you first here, but decided to start with the staircase since a few of you have already mentioned it was a favourite. I absolutely love how it turned out. I used honeycomb balls from the dollar store and fresh pine boughs and it turned out so fun and festive.
