Apple dumplings can be a couple of things, one of them is kind of wet and soggy and the other is a whole apple wrapped and baked in pastry. Mine is the pastry kind and is not wet and not soggy. Also, I do not like apple pie.. don't ask my why, but this.... this is good.
I was craving this dessert (thinking it was from my childhood, but realizing it was perhaps not. I do recall however, eating these, in the long-gone Cullen Country Barns restaurant with my Mum). Anyway, they're warm and yummy and were a hit at my house. Had to make them two weekends in a row just to be sure. Success both times!
