Ingredients




Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups teaspoons plus ¼  sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons white vinegar
7 mediums tart apples, peeled and cored
7 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Ingredients for Caramel Sauce:

1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed

Preparation

1 Directions: 2 In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 teaspoon sugar and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine 1 egg, water and vinegar, gradually add to crumb mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide into seven portions. 3 On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-inch square. Place an apple on each pastry square; place 1 tablespoon butter in the center of each. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over apples. 4 Bring up corners of pastry to center; pinch edges to seal. Beat remaining egg; brush over pastry. Place in a greased 13-inch x 9- inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 5 Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until smooth and blended. Pour over apples. Bake 35-40 minutes longer or until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown, basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm.
