We enjoy highlighting recipes that coincide with the change of seasons.  Since Fall is upon us - we're sharing Grandpa's Cellars' wonderful Apple Dumplings with Apple Cinnamon Sauce.  This delicious dessert was created using our own freshly pressed Apple Cider by our very own neighbors, Pat and Bill Scheuner.  When it comes to treats – we don’t mess around!  As one of Apple Hill's® favorite destinations, Grandpa's Cellars is famous for providing those lucky enough to visit with tasty apples, specialty apple bakery items, and family activities.  We really want to thank Pat and Bill for providing us with one of their most amazing delights.  Please visit them the next time you're in Apple Hill® and check out their website now at www.GrandpasCellar.com.

6 apples, Apple Hill Golden Delicious
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 TBS. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
dash nutmeg
dash salt
3 TBS. butter
Pastry dough for 2-crust 9 inch pie or box of puff pastry

Preparation:
1. Peel and core apples.
2. Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Divide pastry dough into 6 equal pieces. If using puff pastry cut dough into approximately 5 X 5 inch squares. Roll each piece out to approximately 6 inches to enclose the whole apple entirely.
4. Place apple in center of each pastry square. Fill each core with the sugar-spice mixture. Dot each apple with ½ TBS. of butter.
5. Bring up corners of pastry to cover the apple. Press edges together, using a little water if necessary to stick. Turn upside down and place on cookie sheet.
6. Decorate tops with pastry scraps cut in leaf shapes. Egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Egg wash will act as glue for leaves.
7. Using paring knife make 2-3 vent holes in top of apple.
8. Bake 40-50 min. in 375 oven until dumplings are light brown and apples are tender.
9. Serve warm with Grandpa’s Cellar Apple Cinnamon Sauce (made with Barsotti Apple Cider; see below) and vanilla ice cream.
