About

When we had a surplus of apples from the greengrocer or a family member or friend. Dad made apple dumplings, both to sell and to serve in the tea room. These dumplings, encased in puff pastry, are stuffed with a mix of fruits and cinnamon.

Method

Grease a baking sheet.

In a bowl, mix together the raisins, caster sugar and cinnamon.

Roll out the pastry and cut 4 x 20cm circles, each of which should be large enough to encase each apple. Don’t discard the remaining pastry as you will need this later on.

Place the 4 pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet and stand an apple in the centre of each pastry circle. Us
