EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS

Fluffy and flaky buttermilk biscuit dough is wrapped up in warm apple pie filling that melts in your mouth. Imagine a bite size apple pie- only fluffier and so much easier to make!

This Easy Apple Dumpling recipe couldn’t be any easier to make and the aroma of these dumplings baking will fill your home with so much joy. You can top these Easy Apple Dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or enjoy them just as they are.  

 I love adding cinnamon to the top and bottom of the biscuit dough because it gives these Apple Dumplings a little spice that pairs so perfectly with apples. Apples and cinnamon combined is one of my favorites, just like this Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, Apple Cinnamon Crisp and my Apple Cinnamon Oat Bread. 

This Easy Apple Dumpling recipe only has 6 ingredients and takes 30 minutes to make from start to finish. If you are in need of a quick dessert or breakfast, you will be happy you found this recipe.  You can serve these apple dumplings as a sweet treat for breakfast, holiday brunch or even dessert.

These quick and easy apple dumplings are the ultimate comfort food especially since buttermilk biscuits are involved and the apple pie filling is irresistible when wrapped up in the biscuit dough, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon!

You can make the apple pie filling from scratch but the store bought filling is just as delicious. Once you take a bite of these apple dumplings, you will wish you made a double batch because you can’t stop at just one.

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS

• Refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough: flaky, buttery and irresistible. It takes these dumplings to another level of comfort. 
• Apple pie filling: store-bought filling makes this recipe so easy and it’s delicious. 
• Brown sugar: Sweetens the bottoms and tops of the dumplings with just the right amount of sweetness. 
• Cinnamon: gives these dumplings the perfect amount of spice. 
• Unsalted butter: to give a buttery flavor inside the dumpling. 
• Coarse or granulated sugar: to sprinkle the tops of these dumplings

HOW TO MAKE EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Unwrap refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half lengthwise. You will have a total of 16 biscuit dough halves. Press each half down with your palm to form disks.
3. Place 8 of the biscuit dough halves in the muffin tin, pressing down on each half so the dough covers the bottom of the tin. Place in the oven and bake for 3 minutes.
4. In the meantime, chop up the apple pie filling into small pieces.
5. Place a small pad of butter (about 1/4 teaspoon), a pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar into the bottom of each biscuit. Fill each biscuit with about 1 tablespoon of apple pie filling and then add more butter, cinnamon and brown sugar to the top of the filling.
6. Cover the dumplings with the remaining biscuit halves and pinch the edges together as best as you could. Using a sharp knife, prick a small hole at the top of each biscuit and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

LEFTOVERS

Of course this recipe is always best fresh out of the oven. However, if you do have a few leftover make sure they dumplings are fully cooled and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days. 

When ready to reheat them, place them in the oven at 250 degrees F for about 3-4 minutes or wrap them in a paper towel and microwave for 15-30 seconds depending on your microwave.
