Excellent flavors and quite easy. I made adjustments based on some reviews. Perhaps should have read more reviews as I diced up 3 apples (instead of the recommended halved 4 apples) and couldn't fit all the apple pieces into the biscuit dough. I tossed apple pieces with cinnamon sugar. Baked dumplings for about 15-20 minutes without sauce. I couldn't flip dumplings over as they were placed too closely together in baking dish and baked together making it difficult to flip dumplings over. Didn't add water to sauce but added leftover apple pieces so got liquid from that. Poured sauce (with leftover apples) over dumplings and cooked additional 15 minutes. The apples in the sauce were less cooked than the ones inside the dumplings due to less time in the oven. However, the family agreed it made for a nice combination to have some fully cooked apples and others slightly cooked so still a little firm. We actually had this for breakfast so didn't add ice cream. I do think I'll try baking with sauce from beginning next time to see what we think about that, or I might try a 9 x 13 dish and separate the dumplings more for initial baking if I chose to add sauce later. I will also probably up the cinnamon to at least 3/4 tsp as family loves cinnamon. Recently discovered Saigon cinnamon and very pleased with the flavor.

These were okay. I diced up the apples as suggested and they smelled wonderful while cooking. I ended up throwing out the leftovers and no one really said anything about them. I don't think I would make them again and if I did I would change them around which in turn would make them a completley different recipe.

This was an awesome recipe. I thought it was more of a breakfast recipe, but on some of the reviews it said that it was really a dessert item. I think this had a really good sauce!!! When you're trying to figure out when biscuits are golden you can't really see in the oven because of the light so you will have to take it out of the oven to see it. If you take the dumplings out at the right time it will be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I think the cinnamon on top tasted great, but I don't think you need to measure it. I think it was one of my favorite sauces ever. This recipe is perfect for breakfast because it just the right amount of sweetness (I only put in 2/3 of a cup of sugar). Also, my biscuit container was smaller than you're suppose to put it in. In which case just cook it for about 20-30 min. This a great recipe. I will probably make this recipe again. (As written by my 10 yr old 'chef.')

Delicious...diced the apples, coated them in cinnamon sugar, and then wrapped them in crescent rolls. Baked them for 25 minutes and the topped them with the sauce. Yummy!

I made this using the suggestions posted. I cubed the apples and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar per my tastes. I baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. While the dumplings baked, I prepared the syrup. The syrup part: 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup each of white and brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter and the 2 tsp of vanilla. I cooked the liquid on top of the stove over low heat and brought it to a boil. This helps to dissolve the sugar. After the 20 minutes baking time, I removed the dumplings from the oven and poured the syrup around the edges. I sprinkled a bit more cinnamon on top of the dumplings and returned them to the oven to bake another 13 minutes. Delicious! This is an easy recipe and one to take on a camping trip or vaction at the beach when I don't want to drag a whole lot of ingredients.
