8 med. apples
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. grated lemon rind

Pare and core apples. Mix brown sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon and lemon rind together. Fill each apple cavity with part of mixture. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness; cut into squares large enough to cover apple. Place apple on each square and bring corners together at top; moisten edges and pinch together to hold apple in place. Place on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve with a plain lemon sauce. Makes 8 dumplings.
