Dough:
2 cups flour 
1 Tbs. baking powder dash of salt 
3 Tbs. sugar 
1/3 cup oil 
2/3 cup milk 

Filling:
2 cups green apples, peeled and sliced
sugar

egg wash:
1 egg

Syrup: 
1 cup water 
1/2 cup sugar 
2 tablespoons butter 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all dough ingredients together to form a soft dough. Roll out on floured pastry board to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut into 5 or 6 inch squares.

In a small bowl lightly coat cut apples with sugar. Place them on top of biscuit dough and sprinkle cinnamon on top. 

In a small bowl, beat egg. Using a pastry brush, wet edges with egg and fold it over the apple, pinch and flute them to look well, and encase the apple completely. Brush the tops with egg and sprinkle with sugar. 

Place on cookie sheet and bake at 425° for 25 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° for 30 minutes. Pour sauce over each dumpling at serving time.
