Apple Dumplings
Description
Apple Dumplings use crisp Granny Smith apples cut into quarters and sprinkled with cinnamon before being wrapped in crescent roll dough. The dumplings are arranged in a baking dish, then covered with a cinnamon brown sugar syrup made from brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and thickened with cornstarch. Baking at 350°F for about 35 minutes softens the apples and bakes the pastry to a golden brown. The result is a tender, spiced dessert with a sticky sweet syrup coating. Serving the warm dumplings with vanilla ice cream adds a cool, creamy contrast.
This recipe can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, reheating to enjoy warm. They also freeze well up to 3 months, and can be cooked from frozen to serve later. This makes the dish convenient for make-ahead dessert options.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce crescent rolls 8 count, can
- 2 large apple Granny Smith variety
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- vanilla ice cream for serving
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Peel and core apples. Then cut into quarters. Sprinkle each apple quarter with ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Wrap each apple quarter with a crescent roll and seal up all the edges. Place in prepared 9x9 inch pan.
- In a medium saucepan mix in all the syrup ingredients. Bring to a light boil and simmer for 2 minutes while stirring continuously.
- Pour the syrup in the pan over the crescent rolls.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until golden brown on top and the apple is cooked through.
- Let cool 5 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Store prepared dumplings and syrup tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, reheating before serving to enjoy warm.
- Freeze leftovers with syrup in an airtight container for up to 3 months; cook from frozen until heated through.
- Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness and firmness, which hold shape well during baking.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream complements the warm, spiced flavors.
