Apple & Cinnamon Dumplings
These dumplings are a favourite in our house. I actually have to stop the kids from wanting more than two bowls and if I left the tray unattended they would honestly eat the lot!
Tart Granny Smith apples wrapped in a buttery dough and baked in a lemon sugar syrup and then topped with crunchy hot sugar and cinnamon. See if you can stop at one bowl?
