3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup shortening 3/4 cup milk 6 small Winesap, York, or cooking apples 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided 1/4 cup butter or margarine, divided 1-1/2 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine first 3 ingredients; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add milk, stirring to make a soft dough. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface, shaping into a 21- x 14-inch rectangle; cut dough with a pastry cutter into six 7-inch squares.
Peel and core apples. Place one apple on each pastry square. Fill core of each with 2 teaspoons brown sugar, and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Dot each with 2 teaspoons butter. Moisten edges of each dumpling with water; bring corners to center, pinching edges to seal. Place dumplings in a lightly greased 12- x 8- x 2-inch baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
Combine 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1-1/2 cups water, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Pour syrup over cooked dumplings; serve immediately
