Step 1
Love apple pie then you will love these apple dumplings. These are individual desserts. You will need a large bowl to start. You will combine the flour, salt, and crumble in your shortening until your mixture becomes crumbly. You will now gradually add in your 5 teaspoons of water the dough forms into a ball. While you are adding in the water move the dough around with a fork until the ball forms then stop adding water.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough into 12 inch by 18 inch rectangle. You will then cut this into six squares. Place 1/3 cup of chopped apples into the center of each square. You will brush the edges with cold water. Then fold the corners to the center and pinch together to seal. Place in a 13x9x2 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
