Ingredients

350 g	shortcrust pastry
4 tsp	sugar
4	cooking apples, peeled and cored with an apple corer
60 g	sultanas
	grated rind of half an orange
1 tsp	orange marmalade
8 g	soft butter
	milk, for glazing
	sugar, for glazing

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the shortcrust pastry. Cut out 4 rounds large enough to enclose an apple. Sprinkle each round with sugar. Place an apple in the centre of each.

In a bowl mix together the sultanas, orange peel, marmalade and butter. Stuff the mixture into the core of the 4 apples. Wrap the apples with the pastry and seal firmly on top.

Place the apples upside-down on a greased baking tray. Cut out leaves of the remaining pastry and decorate the apples. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 200°C for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C and bake for further 30 minutes until the apple dumplings are golden brown.

Serve with warm marmalade or custard or cream.
