Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch dish.

In a small bowl mix 6 tablespoons butter, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Divide over each core.

Wrap pastry around each apple using a little bit of beaten egg to seal at the top. Pinch the sides to seal and place in prepared pan.

Combine juice, sugar, vanilla extract, apple pie spice and remaining butter. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour over dumplings and bake for about 45 minutes or until apples are soft and pastry is golden.
