Vegan Apple Dumplings Recipes

HEALTHIER HOMEMADE APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add cold butter and pulse until mixture looks like fine crumbles.
• While the food processor is running, add milk through the top. Combine only until mixture comes together.
• Divide dough into 8 pieces. I like them to be the same so I use a scale - each ball weighs about 1.2-1.3 oz.
• Roll out each ball on a lightly floured board until big enough to cover apple.
• Sprinkle with 1/4 t. sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet (if flash freezing) or in a 9 x 13 pan if baking immediately.
• Do this for the remaining apples.
• When ready to bake, make the sauce by combining 2/3 c. sugar, 1/2 c. water, 2 t. butter, 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/8 t. nutmeg in a small saucepan. Heat until mixture comes to a boil.
• Pour sauce over apples and bake at 375° for about 35 minutes or until apples are done. If baking frozen apple dumplings, lower heat to 350°, cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 30 more minutes until apples are done.

VEGAN APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Whisk flour, vegan margarine, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until fine crumbs form. Add water and mix to combine. Separate dough into 10 equal pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Chop each apple eighth into 4 chunks. Place apple chunks in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until soft but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Combine brown sugar, water, vegan margarine, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until butter has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Stir marinade and pour over cooked apples in the saucepan. Let apples marinate for 10 minutes.
• Flatten a piece of dough into a circle. Place 4 apple chunks in the center and wrap dough around; pinch to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and apples; reserve remaining marinade.
• Drizzle remaining marinade over dumplings on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
