Pastry for double crust pie
6 apples, peeled and cored
Cinnamon/sugar mixture
Butter

CINNAMON SYRUP:

1 c. sugar
2 c. water
3 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Roll pastry thin. Place 1 apple in the center of a section of dough equivalent to 1/6 of the pastry. Sprinkle the apple with some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture and place a dot of butter in the center of the apple. Wrap dough up and, covering all sides, bring the dough edges together at the top of the apple. (At this point, you can freeze the dumplings until later.)

Put in 9x13 inch pan. (If frozen, bake at 450 degrees F. 15 minutes; then lower to 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.) Bake unfrozen dumplings at 350 degrees F. 15 minutes. Pour cinnamon syrup over each dumpling and continue baking until apple is fork tender, about 25 minutes longer. Serve with milk or ice cream topped with heated cinnamon syrup.
