These are a play on the name "apple dumplings". Instead of a whole apple baked inside a pastry crust, these are a sweet riff on Asian dumplings that will remind you of the deep-fried McDonald's apple pies of yore. I highly recommend serving these with a miso caramel sauce (like this one: https://food52.com/recipes...) for full enjoyment. —Joy Huang | The Cooking of Joy

Ingredients
-
2
apples (Gala, Pink Lady, and Fuji are my favorites)
-
3 tablespoons
brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon
cornstarch
-
Pinch
kosher salt
-
24
dumpling skins (I used storebought, but you can make your own if you can be bothered)
-
Oil, for deep frying
Directions
-
Peel the apples and finely dice. Mix with the brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the apples are tender and liquid starts to form. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
-
Wet the edges of the dumpling skins and fill with the apple mixture. Seal tightly.
-
Heat the oil in a pot to 350°F. Fry the dumplings until golden brown and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with the miso caramel dipping sauce.
