I received a similar recipe from my grandmother many years ago, and this is a customized version of her dumplings. These apple dumplings with crescent roll dough are quick and simple but taste like you labored in the kitchen. Any home cook can make these regardless of experience. These dumplings smell and taste superb, and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they are like heaven.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 large red apple

  • ½ cup water

  • ⅓ cup white sugar

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Peel and core apple, then cut into 8 slices.

  2. Combine water, white sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat.

  3. Unroll crescent dough into 8 pieces. Wrap each piece around 1 apple slice; transfer dumplings to a 9-inch square baking dish. Slowly pour sugar water over dumplings.

  4. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over dumplings.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Spoon hot sugar mixture over dumplings until glazed, then serve warm.

Cook’s Note

I prefer to use a Gala or Red Delicious apple. You can use margarine in place of butter.

You can create a lighter version of this recipe by substituting the crescent rolls and butter for reduced fat as well as reducing the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon. In addition, you can substitute the sugar for Splenda or any other sugar substitute.
