Old-fashioned Apple Dumplings Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago From Gourmet foods this unique little apple dumpling takes some preparing but it is worthwhile and enchantingly presented. My family was really surprised as they know I do not consider myself a baker. Well, it is apple time! Great with cinnamon ice cream or any ice cream... More Prep:25m Cook:40m Servings:6	Mystic_rive
