Apple Dumpling Recipe; How to Make Apple Dumplings with Cinnamon Syrup Recipe



An apple dumpling recipe is the most memorable dessert I think of as a child. Most of our desserts did include some type of fruit. They were always locally grown fruit and with the exception of peaches when in season, we always had apples. The apple desert recipes were everything from baked apples, fried apples, steamed apples, apple pies to apple dumplings.


Most of the eating apples make a good apple dumpling recipe as they do in other baked apple recipe; and some of the eating varieties. Aside from using different ingredients, there are a couple of different ways that I can think of to make this baked apple recipe. Most people that I know prefer to either slice thinly or dice the fresh apples before wrapping in dough to bake. If you are one like me who prefer the fresh taste of fruit rather than a sweeter taste of sugar, you may prefer to peel and core the apple, then wrap the whole apple in the dough.
