Total Time: 1 hour hour
- 1 pie crust, for 3 apples
- 3 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar, divided into 1 and ½ cup
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp. butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp. butter, cubed
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Mix ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Add water and softened butter to the bowl.
Core and peel the apples.
Divide the pie crust into 3 equal parts. Roll out each piece to ¼-inch thickness, large enough to wrap around an apple.
Place an apple into the center of the rolled out dough and pull the corners up to wrap the apple.
Fill the apple with the brown sugar mix and top the apple with a butter cube.
Place all the apples in a glass baking dish.
Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes. Baste the dumplings with the juice in the pan every 15 minutes.
Serve as a side dish or dessert. Top with whipped cream or custard.
