OLD-FASHIONED APPLE DUMPLINGS
These are the ones my grandmother used to make: warm, flaky, apple-y sweet and drizzled with a sauce that bakes right with them. These are not difficult to make, just a little time-consuming. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tips:
- For the perfect apple dumpling dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and butter. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, then add milk and egg to bind the dough together.
- When rolling out the dough, make sure it is thin enough to wrap around the apples without being too thick and doughy. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- When filling the dumplings, be sure to core and peel the apples first. Cut the apples into quarters or eighths, depending on their size. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or nutmeg to the apples for extra flavor.
- To seal the dumplings, brush the edges of the dough with water or egg wash, then fold the dough up around the apples, pleating the edges to secure them. Make sure the dumplings are sealed tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out while they are cooking.
- When boiling the dumplings, use a large pot of water and bring it to a rapid boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. You can check if the dumplings are done by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the dumplings are done.
- For the vanilla sauce, simply whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened. Serve the vanilla sauce warm over the apple dumplings.
Conclusion:
Apple dumplings are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect apple dumplings every time. Serve them warm with vanilla sauce for a truly unforgettable dessert.
