Roll each portion of dough between 2 lightly floured sheets of waxed paper into a 7" square. Place an apple on each square. Place 1 ts butter and 1 ts cinnamon sugar in the center of each apple. Gently bring up corners of dough to each center, trimming any excess; pinch edges to seal. If desired, cut out apple leaves and stems from dough scraps; attach to dumplings with water. Place dumplings in a greased 13x9" baking dish. Sprinkle with half the remaining cinnamon sugar. In a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Bring just to a boil, stirring until blended. Pour over apples; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown, 50-55 minutes, basting occasionally with sauce. Serve warm.
