Apple Dumplings

I remember my mom making these when I was a kid. They are a fun take on apple pie. I have them a couple times. Don thought they were awesome.

Rome Beauty, or other cooking apple are suggested for this.

1 (15 ounce) refrigerated pie dough
4 apples, peeled and cored
Butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar

serve with ice cream for maximum goodness

unfold crust on cutting board. Cut each crust in half. With a rolling pin, roll each piece to make square large enough to wrap apple.
Place apple on a square of the dough. Sprinkle the apple with 1 tbsp of brown sugar and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon. Take a little slice of butter and put it on top (maybe a little less than a tablespoon. You can leave the butter out, I just think it makes it better)
Wrap crust around apple and pinch sides together. Place apples in baking dish. Sprinkle each apple with additional cinnamon and sugar.

In a small pan, combine the water and 1 cup sugar. Stir together and pour into baking dish. Bake at 375 for an hour or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
