Warm Apple Dumplings

Hello Friends!  I wanted to share a delicious recipe for warm apple dumplings I made for the New Hope Book Club that meets here at Southard House once a month.  This is a great fall recipe and it was very easy and so delicious!  You will definitely have to try this recipe!

 You start with two large apples of your choice.  Wash and dry them, then cut them into to 8 slices and peel off the skin.

 Next I mixed up 1/4 cup sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon and sprinkled this over my sliced apples.

 These apples look like potato wedges!  You want to make sure your apple slices are nice and plump for they will taste better after baking.

 Next open two cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.  Wrap each apple slice in to a crescent wedge and pinch the edges to seal the apple in.

Place the wrapped apples in a large baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Then mix up 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan and cook until it forms a thick syrup - this only takes a few minutes.

 Pour the sauce over the apples in the baking dish, then pour 1 cup of citrus soda over the apples.  Bake the dumplings for 35-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

 This is what they look like when you take them out of the oven - golden and delicious.  The apple is tender and sweet inside and the crust is soft, flaky and has that delicious brown sugar glaze.  It is so delicious!

 I am definitely making these again for my guests and serving them with a delicious scoop of ice cream.  This is a great fall dessert!

 Things are all ready for the book club to arrive so they can relax and enjoy their discussion, my treats, and a time of fellowship.  If you have a club or group that would like to have a new place to meet please call me at (580) 231-3960 for more information about meeting space at Southard House Bed and Breakfast Inn!

I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy this delicious fall dessert!

Until next time - May You Be Blessed!
