Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place apples in a bowl of cold water; set aside while preparing the dough. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly. Add milk; stir until dough comes together. Combine 1 cup brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Separate dough into 6 equal portions; roll portions out to 1/4-inch thickness. Place 1 apple in center of each dough portion; fill core with cinnamon-brown sugar mixture. Wrap apples in dough to enclose; place dumplings into the prepared baking dish. Combine remaining 2 cups brown sugar, water, butter, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over dumplings. Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown and apples are soft, about 40 minutes. Cook's Note: You can also bake dumplings (2 per pan) in small, foil-lined loaf pans.
