Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Serving Size: 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 refrigerated pie crust sheet
2 large Apples
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoons butter, cut into smaller cubes
Salted Caramel Sauce
1 tablespoon dark rum
butter spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together cinnamon and sugar in small bowl. Set aside.
Roll out pie dough and cut circle in half. You may need to roll the dough out a little more depending on the size of your apple - if this is the case, please do so before proceeding. Place apple on each half circle in center of dough.
Place ½ tablespoon butter in center of each apple and top it off with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Use a little more or less sugar depending on the size of your apple - I tend to just try and fill the hole in the center of the apple.
Moisten the edges of the pie crust by dipping your fingers in a little cold water and spreading it around the dough round. Wrap your apple in the dough, being careful to seal any seams. If you have enough dough left over you can also cut out some cute little leaves and add a stem to the apple.
Place in casserole dish and spray with butter spray. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the dough.
Bake for 1 hour or until crust becomes golden brown. My dumplings sunk a little but still basically held their shape.
When ready to serve, place dumpling in serving dish. Microwave caramel sauce for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 tablespoon rum. Drizzle over top of dumpling and serve. Feel free to top with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you feel so inclined!
