Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk with a pinch of sugar and yeast. Set aside.
  2. In a shallow bowl or on a counter top make a pile of flour, with a hole in the middle.
  3. Add eggs, yeast mixture, sugar, and shortening. Mix all ingredients by hand and form smooth ball.
  4. Cut it in half. Roll each piece into flat thin rectangle. To prevent the dough from sticking and ripping, roll the dough on a piece of plastic.
  5. Peel and core the apples, and shred them on a cheese grader (big holes).
  6. First sprinkle some breadcrumbs (original) or Graham cracker crumbs, all over the dough, which will prevent the juices from the apples from soaking the dough through.
  7. Now spread the apples all over the dough(if apples are too juicy squeeze extra juice out before applying to the dough), leaving about 2 inches at the top empty.
  8. Sprinkle on top of the apples the following:
  9. 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 cup raisins Optional: nuts or coconut
  10. Now start rolling the dough up (like a cinnamon roll). To seal the roll, pull the top edge to the middle, facing top. Brush some water under the edge and press the two layers together. Now pinch the side corners together, sealing all the apples in.
  11. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper brush the top with egg wash and repeat the process with the other piece of dough.
  12. Place both shapes on one baking sheet and bake at 350 °F for 40 minutes. Dust with powder sugar before serving.

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, warm milk and sugar in microwave for 40 seconds. Test the temperature of the milk with your finger. The temperature should be warm but not too hot. Add yeast, stir in the milk, and let set aside to foam.
  2. The dough can be made by hand, but it is so much easier to use a dough mixer. To a mixing bowl add flour, water, eggs, salt, and yeast mixture. Mix the dough for several minutes and than add bread that you previously cut into cubes. Mix again.
  3. Remove the dough unto a flat clean surface, and kneed by hand. If too sticky dust with flour. Divide the dough into 3-4 same size pieces, kneed them individually, and shape them into cylinder shapes. Cover them up with cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. To cook the dumplings pour water into two large pots. Water should be at least 3 inches high. Bring to rolling boil. When water is boiling, place gently two dumplings in each pot, and stir with a wooden spoon, so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  5. Cover pot with a lid. Return to boil and turn the temperature to medium. Slightly set the lid to a side, so the steam has a room to escape, but is still mostly covered. Boil for 10 minutes, than rotate dumplings 180° degrees( you will end up with the bottom half on top). Continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
  6. When you are ready to take the dumplings out, make sure you have following ready. (Thread, long fork, and deep-frying spatula).
  7. Make room on your countertop next to the stove, uncover lid, slide spatula under the dumpling right in the middle ( or use two spatulas one on each side), and quickly remove it from water to the counter top . Immediately poke the dumpling at least 5 times with a fork, so the steam can escape. Speed is very important, or the dumpling will shrink!!!!!
  8. To slice the dumpling, place a thread under the dumpling, wrap the thread around the top and cross the tread like you are ready to tie a knot and pull tightly cutting ½ inch thick slices. Cover till ready to serve. Serve warm.
