Apple dumplings are a simple autumn pudding. The apples soften inside the pastry and the filling melts into a sticky sauce.
Choose apples that hold their shape, like Braeburn or Cox.

Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Mix the brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon.
- Roll out the pastry and cut into 4 squares big enough to wrap each apple.
- Sit an apple on each square, fill the core with the raisin mix and top with butter.
- Bring the pastry up around the apple, pinch to seal, and use trimmings to make leaves.
- Brush with egg, sprinkle with caster sugar and bake for 30–35 minutes until golden. Serve with custard.
Cook's noteAdd a little chopped walnut to the filling for crunch.
