Apple Dumplings

For the dumplings, combine flour, sugar, and salt together. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form.

In a separate bowl, stir together water, egg, and vinegar until yolk breaks. Blend egg mixture and crumb mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until soft dough forms. Chill dough for 15 minutes and then divide into 7 portions.

On a piece of parchment paper, pat 6 of the portions of dough into 5-6 inch circles large enough to wrap around an apple. Sprinkle each circle of dough with cinnamon and sugar, and then wrap around an apple, covering completely. Use final portion of dough to decorate dumplings.

Place wrapped apples in a baking dish.

To make syrup, combine sugar, water, cinnamon, and butter in a saucepan and heat until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Pour over dumplings; bake at 425ºF for 40 minutes.
