Fruit Dumplings

This is sooooo good!!! What an easy fall recipe!!! If you like apple dumplings, then you will LOVE this!!! It's just a little bit different, you roll it up and pour a sugary sauce over the top, yummo!!! :oP My mouth is watering just thinking about these! I am thinking I may even have to make more. You sure, I made these a few days ago and they are gone! ;)


I used 2 large granny smith apples


Flour, baking powder and salt


The shortening


Then added the milk (you could use rice milk)


Stir it all up with a fork


Nice round ball, place on somewhat floured surface so it doesn't stick when you roll it out


Roll it out to a nice long rectangle


Place apples on the rolled out dough


Roll it up


All rolled up


Cut and place in baking dish (I used my 9x13 Pampered Chef stone)


Making the "syrup".. sugar, water, cinnamon and flour, bring it to a boil, then....


... dump it over the cut up dumplings


They will kinda swell, smells soooo good! Place in preheated oven (don't cover!!!)


All baked, oh my, I sooo wish this was a scratch and sniff picture! My mouth is watering, I think I need to make another batch of these bad boys!!!


Up close of it.... ;)

Now with a bit of milk. I honestly didn't think I would like it with the milk, but I really did! As a kid, I never added milk to my apple dumpling, my dad and mom would, but I didn't like soggy things, but ya know, this was just perfect! :)





Fruit Dumplings

Prepare 2-3 cups finely chopped fresh fruit, like apples, peaches, rhubarb, etc... Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare 1 recipe biscuit dough (it's at the bottom)
Roll dough into a large rectangle, cover thickly with fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon and roll up and cut into 1 inch rings. Place in greased 9x13 inch pan.
Combine this in saucepan:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup cold water
Let it come to a boil and pour over dumplings. Bake 45 minutes. Serve warm with milk.

Basic Biscuits

Sift together in a bowl:
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cut in:
1/4 cup shortening
Add all at once stirring until soft ball is formed:
3/4 cup milk

Turn dough onto floured surface and knead lightly 20-25 times.
(then do the rest like the recipe says at the top!)

*I didn't add the cinnamon before rolling, I put it in the sugar mixture I made.
This was really easy and it tastes soooooo good!!!!
Don't let the biscuit intimidate you, it is so easy to make!
I used apples, but would love to try it with other fruits!!! Even a apple and raisin combo!
I also used coconut oil (go figure huh? haha) instead of shortening. It worked GREAT!!!
You could also use Rice milk instead of regular milk. I am not sure about Almond, it may give you a different flavor...
