Homemade Apple Cider Glazed Dumplings

 
 

Our apple dumplings are one of my family and friends favorite Autumn dessert I make!

We use Dufour puff pastry, local apples & local apple cider. I live in the countryside of New Jersey with several wonderful farms & cider mills.

If you have questions on any of our recipes please feel free to email us.

Recipe:

Core apples ( we typically make 6 dumplings)

Add a small Pat of salted butter & 1 heaping tablespoon of light brown sugar

Add a very small pinch of ground cinnamon

Roll out thawed Dufour puff pastry

Wrap each apple

We typically can make 4 dumplings per one sheet of puff pastry

Bake in pre heated oven check around 20 minutes so they don’t over brown

cool and add icing

Apple cider icing:

Combine

2 tablespoons apple cider

1 cup confectionery sugar

1 tablespoon of heavy cream

(You can easily double the icing- add more apple cider or more powdered sugar to get the consistency you want)

Serve with scope vanilla ice ream

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (all ovens are different so be careful not to burn or overcook your dumplings. We used an ovenproof ceramic casserole dish to bake in. We only put 4 dumplings per baking dish as to NOT overcrowd them and allow them for o puff up into a beautifully delicious buttery dessert.

*** please note the buttery brown sugar filling will not make your puff pastry soggy & will be incredible while warm melting into the side of vanilla ice cream. you can certainly omit that but it’s what makes these delicate pastries more unique, mouthwatering & irresistible!
