Ingredients

• 4 medium apples
• 1 sheet low-fat puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and core the apples, taking care to leave them whole, and immediately brush them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

Roll out the low-fat puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases, then cut the sheet into four equal squares.

Step 5

Place an apple in the center of each pastry square. Fill the center of the apples with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Gather the corners of the pastry around each apple and pinch them together to seal, ensuring the apples are completely wrapped.

Step 7

Place the wrapped apples on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush each pastry-wrapped apple with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden color as they bake.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 11

While the dumplings are baking, warm the unsweetened apple sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 12

Once the apple dumplings are cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 13

Serve the apple dumplings warm, drizzled with the warmed apple sauce.
