Quick and Easy Apple Dumplings

This is the perfect fast treat for a cold evening...and the house smells so great while they are baking.

NEED:
1 box (2 pie crusts)Pre made pie dough..the sort that is either folded or in a roll
4 to 5 medium to large apples
butter
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

You want the pie dough to be room temperature to make it easier to work with.
Peel and core the apples. ** coring an apple is not hard but can be annoying..and easy way...cut the apple in half and remove the core from both sides and then just place the sides together**
If you are using large apples, cut the sheet of dough into 3 pieces. ( if you are using small apples you MAY have enough in one sheet of dough to cover 4 apples )
Press the dough out a bit but not too thin.
Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Place the apple in the center of the dough. Place about a 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the center of the apple. Sprinkle with some of the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg mixture and pull the dough up around the apple and pinch it together. Place in a lightly sprayed baking dish. Continue until all your apples are covered with dough.
In a small sauce pan:
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
**If you didn't use all the other mixture when sprinkling the apples..pour the remainder in too**
Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 5 minutes..stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes then pour over the dumplings.
Place in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving as the apple filling will be very hot. You can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

ENJOY.
