The apple dumplings were a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding more butter or oil to the filling.

These apple dumplings were a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to the filling.

The apple dumplings were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of water or apple cider.
