Another season is shyly moving in. The White Linen couch cover will be replaced with the Burnt Sienna Suede Cover. The Scarlet wool blanket will once again live on the sofa to chase the coolness away. It is currently 95 Degrees and the air conditioner is chugging away, as it has nearly all summer. However, the new magazines have been drifting in and my senses are being tweaked. I love autumn and the vibrant color, and I surround myself with them. Goodbye Summer. Hello Autumn!!
Apple Dumplings
Ingredients
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
refrigerated pastry for an 8 inch 2 crust pie
4 small, cored baking apples
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
Instructions
Combine the raisins, cranberries, walnuts and spices in a bowl and set aside. Roll out the pastry into a 14-inch square, then cut it into 4 squares. Place a cored apple on top of each square and fill the center with the raisin and cranberry mix.
Cover each apple with its pastry square by bringing the opposite corners up over the fruit and pinching them together. Then, seal together all of the pastry edges, moistening them with water if needed. Place the dumplings in a glass baking dish.
In a saucepan, bring the brown sugar and water to a boil, and then pour it over the dumplings. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven, spooning the syrup over the dumplings a few times, until the crust is golden (about 40 minutes).
