Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the Dough ingredients until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the Filling ingredients and mix well.
Assemble the Dumplings: Roll each dough piece into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter. Place a portion of the apple filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
Prepare the Sauce: In a large saucepan, combine the Sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Boil the Dumplings: Gently place the dumplings into the boiling Sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the dumplings are cooked through and golden brown.
Serve warm with extra sauce.
