Apple Dumplings

Ingredients:

• 4 Gala apples (large)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp. oatmeal
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. margarine, softened
• 1/2 cup margarine, melted
• Phyllo dough
• Caramel sauce
• Whipped Topping

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Core each apple but not completely through, about a 1/2 inch from the bottom. In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, oatmeal, cinnamon, and margarine. Mix with a fork and set aside. Unfold thawed Phyllo dough and slice in half. User approximately 8 sheets per apple.

Brush the top of dough and place one apple in the center and spoon in sugar mixture and pack into core. Gather each point of the dough at the top of the apple and twist carefully. Brush each dumpling with margarine and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and bake for 35-40 minutes. Top each dumpling with caramel sauce and whipped topping. Best served warm.
