Peel and chop apples and place in a sauce pan

Stir in lemon juice to coat the apples

Heat the pan to medium heat and add the rest of the ingredients

Cook - stirring occasionally - until the apples are sauce and the liquid has thickened - about 10 minutes

Remove from heat

Combine all crust ingredients except coconut oil in a large bowl

Mix at medium speed for a minute or two until combined - It will form a crumbly dough that you can easily form into a ball - like a traditional pie crust

Cut in coconut oil - you can use the dough hook of a stand mixer or a pastry cutter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Line muffin pan with baking cups - 8 cups

Add about a tbsp of dough to each muffin cup and press into the bottom. Use you thumb to make an indentation

Spoon a tablespoon or so of apple filling into the muffin cups - evenly divide the filling over the bottom layer of dough

Cover the dumplings with the remaining crust dough - place on top and flatten out a bit

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes until crust is golden

Store in refrigerator - these are good warmed up
