Hi Everyone! Monday was busy for my Momma and I. She had off work that day so we spent it using apples we got on Saturday. We made some delicious apple dumplings and a huge batch of apple cobbler. I have never made apple dumplings before so it was very interesting to say the least. The dough recipe was really strange, it called for so much oil I questioned it the whole time! I ended up using about twice the amount of flour called for and I wasn’t too pleased because it kept wanting to tear when I was rolling it out (I even channeled Chef Charles from college, “Flour is your FRIEND”…) So maybe it was three times the amount? haha. And the sauce, holy sugar high!!! Called for 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water (simple syrup basically) and I used some cinnamon sugar that I dusted and filled the apples with for part of the 2 cups. In the end, things turned out pretty okay. The dumplings were divine! Top it with ice cream and sauce, heaven! I had apple overload for the day so I didn’t try the cobbler but I’m sure it was good haha.
