Apple Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury Ready pie crusts (2 crusts)
4 apples (average size)

1/2 stick margarine
red food coloring (other if desired)

Preparation

Cut apples in half (8 halves). Peel and remove core from halves.
Divide each crust into fourths and wrap apple halves so that round edges are drawn into the core of each apple half.
