Sorry, I did not like this recipe. It was more of a pain than other recipes I have used. The cornstarch in the sauce made the sauce gluggy. I prefer recipes that produce a sauce in the cooking pan while the apples cook.

Absolutely delicious! Made them with crescent rolls, Granny Smith apples and got rave reviews for Thanksgiving. This will be a standard & will take over apple pie.

Very delish. Followed recipe to the "T". Came out perfect.

Perfect in every way. They look gorgeous plated and taste exceptional. I particularly love the way the sauce compliments the dumplings. The sugared crust is so attractive. I used Cortland apples.

These were so yummy! I made them last night for my small group and one of my friends who is a health-obsessed dr. actually ate one and was licking his plate by the time he was done, lol! I did make a few changes: Okay-here are the things I changed for the recipe-I doubled it to make 16 servings (8 apples), I used the big ones you buy in bulk but if you bought the smaller ones I think you could probably use a whole apple for this-I used granny smith. Also, I cut them in half horizontally then cored then and stuffed the filling inside that way-it was really easy and I didn't have to cut anything off the bottom because I just laid them on their flat sides. I put them on the crust and then I stuffed them so as not to make a huge mess trying to get them onto the crust. I doubled the filling and it used every bit so you could even do more and just pile it in the crust for more of that part-which was the best part, I thought! I made my own crust-way better in my opinion. Also we used 350-I had taken them to my friends house and wanted them to be hot so I baked them there but left the recipe at home so I wasn't sure on the temperature-I did the 425 for 10 minutes and then 350 for 20 minutes- but I thought they were done enough-I had eight of them on a pampered chef stone and 8 on a metal air bake cookie sheet. The ones on the stone turned out even better so I would probably use that again or if you used a metal dish or baking sheet, maybe reduce the cooking time. The ones on the met

SO yummy!

This is tasty and easy! I doubled the amount of nuts cuz I LOVE 'em. Other than that I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out fantastic! Yum Yum Yum!

These were great!

This was great. I omitted the nuts. And I didnt make the sauce. I had them fresh out of the oven with vanilla icecream. Heaven I tell ya!! I will be making these for Thanksgiving rather than making an apple pie. thank you for sharing

Mmmm-mm! Yummy recipe. My husband even really liked these and he's usually a chocolate only kinda guy. I do want to note, since I was stumped on this for awhile, that the apples need to be sliced horizontally for it all to make sense. You're essentially stuffing the core of the halved apple with yumminess. I also cut the water to 1/2 cup on hearing the sauce was a bit watery. Excellent dumpings.

This recipe was very good and quite easy to make and even though I liked the sauce, I felt it was missing....something. I thought maybe it wasn't thick enough so I added a little more cornstarch which didn't fix things. I did not slice the apples in half- instead I cored them and left them whole and it worked well. I used more nuts, about 1/2 cup, and 5 tablespoons of butter for the center of the apples.

Excellent! For the taste, it is really an easy recipe to put together. I did double the amount of filling though and heaped it into the apple, on top and let it spill over a little into the crust. The sauce was good but I like to melt real caramel down with cream to put over top. My husband said this was "outstanding" and that's a hard compliment to come by from him. **Update** I made this again and used light brown sugar instead of dark...I don't recommend doing that. It was good but not as rich in flavor as it was with the dark brown sugar!

I used a 9x13 pan to bake 4 apples and it affected the baking. Thirty minutes total time was not enough to soften the small Acey Mac apples I used. (It DOES tell you to use a 18x12 pan, but I didn't have that size.) Despite that, I think the sugar/butter/cinnamon was just the right amount of flavor. I made my own dough, eliminated the nuts, and didn't bother with the sauce. I like the taste of the apples to dominate instead and they are definately delicious enough without the sauce. I will definately try this recipe again. Just don't make them in a 9x13 cake pan!

SO YUMMY! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out so great! Everyone loved it! I make it at least once a week now!

These were really good and simple to make.

These apple dumplings came out excellent. The first time I make a recipe, I like to make it exactly as specified, without any changes so that I can give it a fair review. The only change I might make next time would be to leave out the nuts because my son does not like them. I think this recipe would be just as good with or without the pecans. At first, I thought the sauce wasn't going to be sweet enough but when added to the dumpling it is just right. If I had added sugar it would have been way to sweet. My husband said this is one of the best desserts he has ever had and that it was better then any restaurant. Thanks for a great recipe.
