Easy Apple Dumplings Recipe

Easy Apple Dumplings Recipe: use pre-made frozen pastry to put this classic apple dumplings recipe together in no time. Quick and delicious.

This easy apple dumplings recipe is an old family favourite around here, especially in the fall when fresh Ontario apples are at their peak. If you’re looking for something a bit different from regular old pie, and a whole lot easier this is the perfect recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner this year.  

I partnered with Giant Tiger to create this recipe and I know you’ll love it.  Giant Tiger is the perfect one stop shop, with everything to create a beautiful Thanksgiving Table, like the one we put together here, and all the delicious ingredients to make dinner, including fresh ingredients like the apples.

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. 

These are always well received, and would make a really delicious addition to any fall dinner.

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.
