PIONEER WOMAN’S APPLE DUMPLINGS


To create these delectable apple dumplings, you’ll need a handful of simple ingredients that come together to form magic in your kitchen:



  • Granny Smith apples: The tartness of Granny Smith apples balances perfectly with the sweetness of the dumpling.
  • Crescent roll dough: Convenient and easy to work with, crescent roll dough provides a buttery, flaky exterior.
  • Brown sugar and cinnamon: This classic combination adds warmth and sweetness to the filling.
  • Butter: For that rich, indulgent flavor that makes every bite unforgettable.
  • Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall aroma and taste of the dumplings.
  • Soda or lemon-lime soda: Creates a bubbly, caramelized sauce that envelops the dumplings in sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot when it’s time to bake your dumplings.
  2. Prepare the apples: Peel and core the Granny Smith apples, then slice each one into 8 equal pieces.
  3. Roll out the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
  4. Coat with sugar and cinnamon: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll each apple slice in the mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Wrap the apples: Place an apple slice at the wide end of each dough triangle and roll it up, tucking the edges to seal.
  6. Arrange in a baking dish: Place the wrapped apple dumplings in a greased baking dish, with the seams facing down.
  7. Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and add brown sugar, vanilla extract, and soda. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Pour over the dumplings: Pour the sauce evenly over the apple dumplings, ensuring they are well-coated.
  9. Bake to perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  10. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
