Today was the Elbert Women's Christmas Bazaar. Elbert is probably smaller than Virgin, but man can they host a bazaar! The event was held in 3 locations, the Old Mercatile building, the old Post Office building and up the hill at the school. It smelled like heaven when you walked in and there was all kinds of hand made stuff, from the cool to the small town strange. I got some awesome peppermint soap, some knock your socks off green chili a couple of other odds and ends and went back for the apple dumplings. The dumplings seemed to be the one thing everyone was stocking up on so I bought 3 of them and we had one for dessert....it was AMAZING! Now I will be on the quest to get the recipe or find someone to teach me how they do it. The crust was so flaky and light, it just melted in your mouth. I'll try to score it for the recipe card project. Wow, is all I can say, it was beyond words!

Here is one that I have tried. Don't know if it is the same or not but it is heavenly.
Apple Dumplings

1 pastry for 2-crust pie
Syrup Ingredients:
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 cups water
3 Tablespoons butter (softened)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Filling Ingredients:
6 apples (peeled and cored)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 Tablespoons butter (softened)
Directions:
1. Roll pastry slightly less than 1/8" thick. Cut into 7" squares.
2. Bring syrup ingredients to boil. Boil 3 minutes.
3. Put apple on center of each pastry square. Fill with mixture of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg. Dot each with teaspoon of butter.
4. Bring points of pastry up over apple and overlap.
5. Place a few inches apart in baking pan. Pour 1 cup hot syrup mixture around dumplings.
6. Bake at 425 degrees F for 45 minutes. Just before serving pour rest of warm syrup over dumplings and serve with cream.
I found a recipe for an Apple Tart in the Womens Day magazine and it uses the Frozen Puff pastry sheets and it was really good also, maybe we can have an Apple Pastry cook off and let the men be the judges, but hold the phone, I think I would like to be the judge as long as there is Vanilla Ice Cream involoved. Wish I could have been there to share the day with you sounds like fun and right up my alley!
