Apple dumplings are a delicious way to help you get in your apple a day. No, they aren't as good for you as a plain raw apple but they are delicious and smell absolutely heavenly while they are cooking.
Apple Dumplings
- 2 ¼ cups Bisquick baking mix
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 (24 ounce) jars applesauce – one chunky and one original
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons butter
In a bowl, stir together baking mix and milk until soft dough forms; set aside.
Combine applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Drop dough mixture by spoonful into the boiling applesauce mixture. The dough will be super sticky, so don’t worry about making actual dough balls.
Reduce your heat and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook for another 10 minutes. If you don’t cook dumplings too often, please note that the dumplings don’t really look done, but at the end of 20 minutes, I guarantee you that they are!
You can serve this recipe immediately or later when it cools. It is so good either way! We like to top it with Cool Whip, as you see in the picture. A co-worker gave me this recipe last year, and it has been a big hit with us ever since. It is very, very easy and makes a fabulous dessert!
