Ingredients

  • STREUSEL:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2-1/4 cups chopped peeled tart apples
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • ICING:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, bread crumbs, cinnamon and nutmeg. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into two 12-in. squares. Cut each sheet into nine 4-in. squares.

Brush squares with egg. Place 1 teaspoon sugar mixture in the center of a square; top with 2 tablespoons chopped apple and 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. Gently bring up corners of pastry to center; pinch edges to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry, crumb mixture and apples. Place on greased baking sheets.

In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients. Brush remaining egg over dumplings; press streusel over tops.

Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Place pans on wire racks. Combine icing ingredients; drizzle over dumplings.
Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
