Apple Dumplings

Quick and easy Apple Dumplings will be on your table within no time. These dumplings are sweet and have a crispy, but soft apple center. Perfect for those nights you’re craving dessert, but just don’t have the time. 

Today I’m bringing you a recipe thats been in the My Kitchen Craze archives for years. I make this dessert at least once a month and every one in the house loves it. These dumplings are simple to throw together on a busy night, but also have that fancy feel. People will think you’ve been in the kitchen for hours, when in reality it’s been 30 minutes. Score!

You all know that I’m a recipe girl by heart. I’m trying really hard lately to grow out of my comfort zone and experiment lately. I’ve been successful with some and had failures with others. Some recipes I’ve had success with are this Taco Soup, this Tropical Slushie & these Breakfast Tacos. But sometimes you just need a good ole’ recipe to follow.

I actually got this recipe years ago. My hubby came home from work one day with this recipe in hand. I can’t remember who gave it to him and he doesn’t remember either, but I do remember him telling me, “You have to make this babe. So and so said it’s amazing and so easy to make.”

Remember back in the day I did not cook! Not at all! So when I made this, the hubby and kids were shocked how delicious it was. I think this was the day my hubby realized I had the cooking gene. And if I was honest with myself, this was the first recipe where I thought, “Hey I can do this whole cooking thing.”

These Apple Dumplings are delicious! They have such a rich and tasty flavor. Pair them with a cup of coffee and you have one great dessert! The apples are crispy, but soft and the sauce is amazing. I could drink it by the glass. These dumplings are great because they come together very quickly and don’t lack in the flavor department. Your guest will think you’ve slaved over these all day, but in fact you were in and out of the kitchen within 30 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!! PS scoop some vanilla ice cream on the side, then drizzle caramel sauce over  everything. It’s our favorite way to eat these Apple Dumplings! 🙂
