Preparation
Step 1
Place the water and the apple peelings in a saucepan and cover.
Cook over medium heat 5-10 minutes until the peelings are tender.
Remove the peelings; add the sugar and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl sift together the flour and salt.
Cut in the shortening until small peas forms.
Mix in the orange juice until the dough holds together.
Form the dough into a square.
On a floured surface roll the dough out into a rectangle that is roughly 12x18 inches.
Cut the dough into 6 strips that are 6x9 inches.
Step 3
Wrap a pastry strip around each apple, sealing the side and bottoms.
Place in a baking dish so the apples are not touching.
Step 4
In a bowl combine the brown sugar and nutmeg.
Divide evenly among the center of the apples.
Place 1 teaspoon butter in the center of each apple.
Step 5
Pour the reserved syrup around the dumplings.
Step 6
Bake for 45 minutes.
Bast the apple with the syrup.
Continue cooking another 15 minutes.
