how to make apple dumplings

This is an old family recipe, that my mom and my mom’s mom used to make.  They always made the pie pastry from scratch, but my version makes it really quick and easy.  Using frozen pastry makes this a quick and easy recipe to put together anytime.

They’re best served warm, and I like to add a little scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you’re making them ahead of time, just re-heat before serving -easy peasy.

  1. I tried this for a party and was thrilled that I could bake them ahead of time and keep them warm in a regular cooler wrapped in a towel. By the time we were ready to eat them they were the perfect temperature! It was super quick and easy and was a real treat for our guests.
