Recipe - Elegant Apple Dumpling

Dough:
1 cup All purpose flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Shortening
One fourth cup Apple juice or apple cider
Filling:
4 tablespoon Butter
One fourth cup Brown sugar
One half cup Crushed gingersnaps
One fourth cup Ground pecans
1 tablespoon Grand Mariner
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, butter and shortening until a crumbly mixture
forms. Add in the juice slowly, until a smooth dough forms. Melt butter,
and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.

Putting it all together: Core Three fourths of an apple (preferably a Granny Smith)
making sure that there is plenty of room for the filling. Roll out the
dough, the thinner the better. Wrap dough around the apple. Squeeze off the
excess and create leaves for the top of the apple with the extra. Bake at
350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes until dough becomes a light to
golden brown. It will not get too dark so definitely keep checking on it.

The dough recipe should yield enough for two apples. To make a stem for the
apple use a small piece of cinnamon stick
