The second of two recipes in this box for Apple Dumplings. The first is here.
Oddly enough, the recipes aren’t mutually exclusive; this focuses on the apples and pie crust, and the other focuses on a syrup to pour over the dumplings. So although they can stand alone, they can be allies in apple-flavored deliciousness.
From a box sold in Columbiaville, Michigan.
