Apple Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Dumplings:
- 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Syrup:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Prepare Apples:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples in half for larger dumplings or into smaller slices for individual portions.
- Wrap the Apples:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place one apple slice in the center of each triangle.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle this over each apple slice.
- Fold the dough around the apple slice and seal the edges to create a dumpling. Place the dumplings sealed-side down in the baking dish.
- Make the Syrup:
- In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, butter, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium until the butter melts and sugar dissolves, creating a syrup.
- Bake:
- Pour the syrup over the dumplings. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve:
- Remove the dumplings from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and drizzle the syrup from the baking dish over the top.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle extra caramel sauce or honey over the dumplings for added sweetness.
