Quebec Apple Dumplings

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pie dough (double batch)
  • 1/4 c Cheddar cheese-grated
  • 12 Apples; medium- peeled & cored
  • 1/2 c Mincemeat
  • 1/4 c Rum
  • Butter
  • 3/4 c Sugar
  • 1/4 c Sugar; Brown
  • 1/4 c Cream
  • Lemon rind; 1/2 lemon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Make enough pie enough to roll into 12 6"x6" squares (about a double batch.) Sprinkle each square with 1 tsp. grated cheddar.
  3. Peel and core apples and place one on each square. Fill the center of each apple with 2 tsp (or 1 heaping tsp.) of mincemeat, 1 tsp of rum, a dot of butter and 1 Tablespoon sugar.
  4. Bring diagonally opposite corners of dough over the apple to form ears at the top. Cover the 'ears' with aluminum foil.
  5. Mix the brown sugar, cream and grated lemon rind. Brush the dumplings with this mixture and bake 35 to 45 minutes in 400F oven.
  6. Remove foil, brush ears with cream mixture and return to oven till 'ears' are brown.
  7. Serve warm with plain cream or sweetened cream, flavored with rum.

To quote Mme. Benoit "In Quebec these were baked in deep brown earthenware pudding dishes and served on a hot wooden board or tray surrounded by autumn leaves or boughs cut from the Christmas tree.

It was a traditional in our family to serve these dumplings after we had finished decorating the Christmas tree."
