      Yield: 1 servings 
  
      1    Pie dough (double batch) 
    1/4 c  Cheddar cheese-grated 
     12 md Apples; peeled & cored 
    1/2 c  Mincemeat 
    1/4 c  Rum 
           Butter 
    3/4 c  Sugar 
    1/4 c  Sugar; Brown 
    1/4 c  Cream 
           Lemon rind; 1/2 lemon 
  
  Preheat oven to 400ÜF. Make enough pie enough to roll into 12 6"x6" 
  squares (about a double batch.) Sprinkle each square with 1 tsp 
  grated cheddar. Peel and core apples and place one on each square. 
  Fill the center of each apple with 2 tsp (or 1 heaping tsp) of 
  mincemeat, 1 tsp of rum, a dot of butter and 1 Tablespoon sugar. 
  Bring diagonally opposite corners of dough over the apple to form 
  ears at the top. Cover the 'ears' with aluminum foil. Mix the brown 
  sugar, cream and grated lemon rind. Brush the dumplings with this 
  mixture and bake 35 to 45 minutes in 400ÜF oven. Remove foil, brush 
  ears with cream mixture and return to oven till 'ears' are brown. 
  Serve warm to plain cream or sweetened cream, flavored with rum.
