Mmmmm this is so good! At first I thought it was going to be kind of difficult and time-consuming, but really once the apples are peeled and halved the rest just flies by. The brown sugar sauce doesn't taste exactly like butterscotch but it's still very good and it really compliments the apple taste. Also as an added bonus, my kitchen smells fantastic after baking this. I am going to serve these to my family tomorrow and I'll bet they're going to love them. Thank you Carol for the recipe!

really wonderful. I like how you do 1/2 an apple per dumpling, its a much more appropriate size, but still big!! this is absolutely to die for warm with vanilla ice cream. the butterscotch sauce is so flavorful, it's addicting.

The grandchildren loved these apple dumplings and even my hard to please son-in-law thought they were great. The pastry is much easier to make than a pie crust type pastry and tastes better too!

Mmm. Maybe it's just that I only made two of these, but I didn't find the recipe to be difficult or time consuming. I skipped the peeling step, though, and I patted the dough into rounds rather than rolling it out. It yeilds a crispy, biscuit like crust, and a soft, warm apple. (Braeburn, in my case.) I rubbed the cinnamon sugar mix over the inside of the dough before wrapping the apple in it, and used a bit of allspice, rather than nutmeg. I also stuffed them with golden raisins. They would be lovely with vanilla ice cream, but if you haven't got any, a cold glass of milk will do. Incidentally, if you scale it down to two servings like I did, you might want to double the sauce.

This was a nice hot dessert. I absolutely loved the butterscotch sauce. We served hot with vanilla ice cream.

This recipe is quite tasty. I recommend using very tart apples, and cutting them into quarters instead of halves, then rolling the crust to a very very thin layer which can be cut into 16 sections total, one for each apple quarter. This decreases the cooking time by about 10 minutes and makes a smaller serving size.

I like a "flakey crust" apple dumpling and the addition of baking podwer gives these dumpling an almost biscuit like texture and taste. The apples and sauce were tasty but overall I was disappointed with these dumplings and would not make them again.

The taste of these dumplings is definately 5 stars, but the time it takes to make them bumped it down a notch. Between peeling and coring the apples, making the crust, and making the sauce, these took about an hour to make and get in the oven, then another 45 minutes to bake. If you are planning on making these, make sure you have the free time and energy. After tasting one though, the hard work was all worth it! Thanks for a yummy recipe!

These turned out wonderfully. The sauce was thick and very flavourful. I will definitely be making these again.

These were a little bit of work having to make pastry dough, but they were really yummy. I served them with vanilla ice cream which was wonderful. My sauce did not turn out, though, it was runny and separated. I followed the directions, but the sauce was not what I expected
