David’s Apple Dumplings

  • 1 Red Delicious Apple-peeled, cored and cut into 4 quarters or thirds (can also use a pear, peach, blackberries or a ball of cranberries, anything that makes a good cobbler will make a good dumpling)
  • 1 Can Crescent Rolls
  • Cinnamon
  • Sauce: Warm the following three ingredients till dissolved
    1& 1/2 cup Orange Juice
    ¾ cup Sugar
    ½ stick butter
  • Wrap 1/4 of Apple with one piece of crescent roll and seal all edges. I usually have a big piece of fruit so when I cut it in half to serve I still have a nice piece of fruit in there. Otherwise they get nothing but a bunch of dough. Since I have a bigger piece of fruit, I roll out the triangle pieces of crescent roll with a rolling pin and a little bit of flour.
  • Place seam side down in Pyrex pan (9*13in.)
  • Pour sauce over them then sprinkle with cinnamon
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 20-25 min. till done.
  • Baste dumplings with sauce in the pan before moving to plate
  • I drizzle a small amount of sweetened vanilla yogurt on top as icing.
  • Makes 8 dumplings cut in half to make 16 servings.
