This recipe was easy to make, although really time consuming. It was my first time making apple dumplings but it took about 45 minutes before I even got it in the oven. However, the result was amazing. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't like desserts, ate the whole thing and talked about it in in the car on the way home from a dinner party. Everyone gave it rave reviews, and I was even told that was the very best apple dessert one guest had ever had- and they're his favorite type of treats!

Wonderful recipe. I used premade pie crust and served the dumplings with vanilla syrup. The sauce over the ice cream was great.

I made this recipe for Sunday dinner at a friend's house and, they were a hit! Everyone loved the sauce especially with ice cream. I used the 'best ever pie crust' recipe from this site. Very filling and very good!

Very, very good. I was a little short on pie dough (I made my own) but the recipe was very good. The apples were nice and tender and the crust was not doughy but crispy and browned well. I topped it with some hot buttered rum batter from this sight. Excellent.

I have never made Apple Dumplings before, but had some great looking apples and thought I would give it a try. I just got them out of the oven and tested my first one... These are so wonderful! and beautiful. I cut the water by a half cup and added more butter than called for. I also used premade pie crust, so it was so easy. I also basted the dumplings a few times with the syrup while they were cooking, gave the dumplings a nice glaze. These are gourmet!

These were excellent! I had a lot of trouble rolling out the dough out all at once. Next time, I will divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll each out individual circles. As I cooked it, I thought the sugar-water sauce seemed way too thin and there seemed to be way too much so I only added about a third of it to the pan. In the end, the sauce cooked down and I wished I had added it all to the pan. Next time I will follow the directions exactly.Thanks!

I made these and we loved them! I cut the water mixture in half and it was plenty. I only made 6 and I used the premade pie dough! My husband said they were so good and didn't even need ice cream if you can imagine that! Well worth a try. Thanks Micki for a great recipe

These are better than apple pie! I made these for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved them and SO DID I! I absolutely love the way they were individual and the sauce was excellent! Although, mine cooked in approx. 45 minutes.

These came out great. I cheated though and used a dairy case ready-made piecrust. I added a tablespoon of raisins, and about a teaspoon and a half of chopped pecans into the center of each apple. My husband really loved these apple dumplings, especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

This had an OK taste to it. I used the recipe for Buttery Flaky Pie Crust (which was great) for the shell. I tried it with granny smith apples but I liked rome apples better. So did everyone else. End result was everyone really liked the shell just not the apple part. So still looking for grandma's apple dumplings.

Oh my gosh these are just like grandma used to make. The sauce is awesome!! I used about 1/2 cup less water because I boiled the sauce in the microwave and didn't want it to overflow. It will if you don't watch it carefully --so make sure if you do it in the microwave you use a big enough glass bowl. I added about 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar to the sauce instead of light brown and it gave it a rich flavor. What can I say but yum?!!

I used the premade pie crusts from the store, and it turned out great. I also made a couple sauces to go with them. A vanilla sauce, and a cinnamon sugar sauce. Both yummy over the apples! No leftovers. I also made them for breakfast when I had some friends over. I served them with scrambled egg crescent cups, and they were a huge hit!

These are the true old-fashioned apple dumplings! The sauce is awesome. They aren't difficult, and were kind of fun to make. I think you could even use store-bought pie dough if you aren't good at making your own. I think these are a true comfort food. Try them! Danny R.
