Apple Dumplings

 Recipe Items

2 apples, Granny Smith variety

One cup of water

1/2 cup of sugar

#1 stick of butter

half a teaspoon. Flavoring with vanilla

8 biscuits in a can (Pillsbury milk is my go-to)

four tablespoons of cinnamon, ground

What is the process for creating

Get the oven to 375 degrees. After core and peeling the apples, cut them into eighths lengthwise. To keep it from browning while you make the next ingredients, cover with cold water.

Bring the water, 3/4 cup sugar, butter, and vanilla to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Half the biscuits lengthwise. Encase an apple slice in the biscuit dough, pull it taut so it overlaps just a little, and press the layers together to seal.

Place the wrapped pieces in a 9 × 13 baking dish and set them aside. Add the apple slices to the heated sugar mixture.

For the topping, combine the cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar. Season the cabbage apple tops with this mixture. Brown the top of the dish after 35 minutes in the oven. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream, enjoy warm!

Take pleasure in it.
