Apple Dumplings

Dough:
2 c flour
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
2/3 c shortening
1/2 c milk

Sift flour, powder, salt. Add shortening and milk. Divide into 6 equal parts. Roll.

Filling:
6 apples
1/4 c sugar (approx, for each dumpling)
sprinkle of cinnamon (each)
pat of butter (each)

Add filling to dough. Close dumpling like a pie. Place in pan.

Syrup:

Heat to boil to melt candies. Pour syrup over dumplings. Bake at 375 for 35 minutes.

I often make 3 for a meal and freeze the other 3 for another meal.
