Cinnamon Nutmeg Apple Dumplings

Ingredients

• short pie crust
• apples (same size)
• sugar
• butter
• ground cinnamon
• nutmeg
• egg white
• sugar (for glaze)

Method

1. 1 Roll out short pie crust and cut into squares large enough to cover each apple.
2. 2 Peel apples, remove cores, and fill the center with sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. 3 Place an apple in the center of each crust square; wet edges with egg white and fold over, sealing points on top.
4. 4 Pinch and flute the edges to seal well, ensuring juices do not escape.
5. 5 Brush tops with egg and bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 40 minutes until tender but holding shape.
6. 6 Dust with sugar ten minutes before removing from oven to create a glaze.
