APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Make the pate brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle with ice water and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched. If dough is too crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; do not over-process.
• Divide dough into thirds. Transfer to 3 pieces of plastic wrap; knead once or twice. Form into squares and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight, or freeze up to 3 months; thaw overnight in refrigerator before using.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll each square of dough into an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Then cut each square into two 9-inch triangles and some leaves. Use the back of a knife to make the vein markings on the leaves. Keep the pastry chilled and covered with plastic wrap, on parchment-lined baking sheets, until ready to use.
• For the apples: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples without removing stems. Working from bottom of each apple, use an apple corer to remove core to within about 3/4 inch from the top. To remove any remaining seeds, use a 1/4 teaspoon. Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Add butter, raisins, zest; stir until thoroughly incorporated. Divide mixture evenly between the cavities of apples. Place in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish along with 3 tablespoons water and bake, basting occasionally with pan juices, until just fork-tender, about 1 hour. Transfer baking dish to wire rack and let cool completely.
• Place an apple onto the center of each pastry triangle. Whisk together egg yolk and cream. Brush edges of pastry with egg wash. Bring edges of pastry together and pinch or press to seal, leaving stems exposed. Garnish dumplings, as desired, with leaves moistened with egg wash to adhere. Return dumplings to parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix together egg yolk and cream. Lightly brush dumplings with egg wash and chill until firm, reserving egg wash.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush dumplings again with egg wash, and bake until nicely browned, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

APPLE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse a few times to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons water and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and holds together. Add up to 2 more tablespoons water if necessary but be careful not to make the dough too wet. Tip the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use the edges of the plastic wrap to lift and press the dough into a cohesive piece. Wrap with plastic and shape into a flat rectangle. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a melon baller, remove a tiny bit of the root end of each apple. Use the melon baller to core each apple from the stem, leaving about ¾-inch intact at the bottom. Rub the outside of the apples with some of the brown sugar mixture. Toss the remaining brown sugar mixture with the butter and currants and stuff it evenly into the apples. Butter a large baking dish.
• On a lightly floured surface divide the dough into 6 equal rectangles. Working with one piece at a time, roll into an 8-inch square between 1/8- and ¼-inch thick. (Keep the other pieces in the fridge while you work.) Place one apple in the center, open side up. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and bring them up and over one apple, pressing the dough gently to adhere it. (If there are any thin spots or holes in the dough, seal them well to prevent the dough from slipping off during baking.) Transfer the wrapped apple to the prepared dish and transfer it to the fridge. Repeat with the remaining dough, egg wash, and apples. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill the apples while the oven is heating.
• Just before baking, brush the apples all over with the egg wash and sprinkle all sides generously with sugar. Bake until the crust is deep golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes. Insert a small knife in an inconspicuous spot to test the apple for softness and return to the oven for a few minutes more if not done yet. If crust is becoming too dark, tent lightly with foil until apples are cooked through.

With the beaten egg, lightly brush 1 inch along the edges of one of the rectangles. Put one of the apples, upside down, in the middle of the rectangle and pour enough of the cinnamon sugar into the center cavity to reach the top. Gather the four corners of the pastry and pinch them together. Pinch the edges together to seal. With scissors, trim any excess pastry from where the edges meet. Repeat with the remaining pastry, apples, and cinnamon sugar. 3. If you like, use a small knife to cut eight small leaves from the scraps of pastry.
