WHEN Mom made pies to feed the crew during wheat harvest, she always had plenty of dough left over, so she treated us kids to apple dumplings. I've carried on this tradition in my own family. Now my husband and I enjoy this special dessert even when I'm not baking pies.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality apple. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for apple dumplings, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs nicely with the sweet cinnamon filling.
  • Peel and core the apples before filling them. This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the filling from becoming too thick.
  • Don't overfill the apples. Leave some room at the top of each apple so that the filling can expand as it cooks.
  • Use a variety of spices in the filling. Cinnamon is a classic choice, but you can also add nutmeg, ginger, or allspice.
  • Make sure the cinnamon rolls are cooked through before serving. The center of the rolls should be firm to the touch.
  • Serve the cinnamon rolls warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple dumpling cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cinnamon roll dough that is filled with apples and spices, then rolled up and baked.
