How to make Baked apple, raisin, and brown sugar dumplings

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan) or 220°C (conventional).

2. Using a melon baller, core the apples, ensuring the bottoms remain intact.

3. Place the cored apples in a glass pie dish, spacing them apart.

4. Microwave the apples uncovered on medium power for about 10 minutes, or until tender.

5. Allow the apples to cool in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.

6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

7. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar to a small saucepan.

8. Add the raisins and 3 tablespoons of single cream to the saucepan, then stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

9. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar with the remaining single cream, and whisk until soft peaks form.

10. Cover the whipped cream and refrigerate until needed.

11. On a floured surface, roll out each biscuit to a thin 20 cm round, then lightly brush with beaten egg.

12. Place an apple in the centre of each round and fill the apples with the raisin mixture, slightly overfilling them.

13. Pull up the four sides of the dough to the top of the apple (from the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions) and twist at the centre to create a stem shape.

14. Using your fingertips, press the seams tightly to seal the dumplings.

15. Transfer the dumplings to a baking tray.

16. Brush the dumplings with egg and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.

17. Bake the dumplings for about 18 minutes, or until golden.

18. Serve warm with the cinnamon whipped cream.
