Loved the recipe, cut the apple ingredients in half and kept the dough as it was, then sliced the apples into quarters, making smaller dumplings and served it with ice cream. Everyone seemed to like this better.
The pastry was good but I wasn't impressed with anything else. I didn't feel that I really had enough dough to work with which ended up making the fillings overflow in the oven and made my entire house fill wtih smoke. The filling was not sweet enough and overall didn't have a very good flavor. The syrup was also much too runny. Will not make again.

Reminds me of grandmas apple dumplings! Dough came out perfect and the syrup was very easy. I will be making more of these in the future!
I loved these! i use this dough for apple pie and it's great! Thanks!
This was the best apple dumpling recipe I have tried. The dough was the easiest and the most successful for me.
soo good!
Delish, my family loved these.
This was very close to the one that my grandmother and mother used to make out of the Betty Crocker cookbook, but more complicated. Didn't use the food coloring. Tasty! Very good on a crisp autumn afternoon. The pastry works well for apple pie too.
