Step 1: Prep the Apples
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 3: Wrap the Apples

- Wrap a biscuit layer around each apple slice, slightly stretching to cover it. Seal the edges.
- Place the wrapped apples seam-side down in a 9×12-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Add Toppings & Bake
- Pour the warm sugar syrup over the dumplings.
- Mix the remaining ¼ cup sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Let cool slightly, then serve warm. These apple dumplings pair perfectly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
Tips for the Best Apple Dumplings
Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet sauce.
Make sure to seal the dough well so the syrup stays inside.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
