Apple Dumplings


It seems that since we returned from Michigan
our lives have just been filled with business.

First was getting ready for my parents 50th Anniversary party.

Then came Easter.

It was my turn to host.
We entertained 24 people on beautiful, sunny Sunday!


Glad we have lots of room to roam!

This week was a little bit calmer.

I finally got to thumb through some cookbooks I had picked up
at a thrift store last winter.

I found a fun recipe for some leftover apples that were in the fridge.


They are called apple dumplings.


But I felt like I was making some version of a cinnamon role.


All though the dough is more of a pie crust.


They look like an apple stuffed cinnamon role.


Then you spoon this yummy mixture over the top!


They smelled  divine while baking!


They come out with a nice crusty side, and a warm, caramel center.

We enjoyed them with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream while warm.

I enjoyed another one cold with a hot cup of coffee the next morning!

I can't wait to try some more recipes out of this cookbook!

  2. Oh my goodness! It is 4:30 in the afternoon, and I cannot imagine how good that would taste with a cup of coffee. I know I will make this recipe when I have time. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe with us.
