Apple Dumplings Recipe

These are the apple dumplings my grandmother used to make: warm, flaky, apple-y sweet, and drizzled. They aren’t difficult to make, just a little time-consuming.

hese are the only apple dumplings I’ve ever made.  This recipe is so good that I have never actually looked for another recipe.  The crust is so very soft!  The sauce that’s poured over the dumplings before baking and then after they are baked, is just delicious.  Everything about this recipe is pretty much perfect as far as I’m concerned.

I’ve always used Macintosh apples to make the recipe. Macintosh apples are an eating and baking apple. They’re also not as big as a Granny Smith or other baking apples. I wanted a small apple, like the Macintosh to make a one serving apple dumpling that wasn’t overwhelming to eat in one setting for dessert.   Let’s gather the ingredients and make it together.

Ingredients

• 2 Granny Smith apples
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 canned buttermilk biscuits
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
