Best Pear Melba Dumplings Recipes
PEAR DUMPLINGS
I love these dumplings with morning coffee. My neighbor brought these to our house when I was not feeling well. I did eat these and thought that they were so good. She brought apple dumplings but I had so many pears I decided that I would change the recipe and substitute pears instead.

Steps:
- 1. Cut, core and cut pears or apples in to 8 pieces. Roll one apple or pear slice in each crescent roll. Place in 9 x 13 pan. Mix Margarine or butter with sugar in saucepan till melted. Add Mountain Dew. Pour over dumplings. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes.
- 2. I had a little bit of Pampered Chef cinnimon and sugar in the pantry so I sprinkled that on top of these.
SUGAR ENCRUSTED PEAR DUMPLINGS
These pear dumplings have a baklava-style filling and just glisten on the plate because of the coarse sugar coating! Use ripe but firm pears so they will retain their shape while baking. A refrigerated pie crust simplifies preparation, but you can use any preferred dough: I think Puff Pastry works best. Can make ahead through step 3. For an extra baker's touch, use excess dough to make small leaves to add to the tops of the pears. Also, you can core the pears from the top or bottom. Coring them from the bottom just allows you to leave the stem on, if you'd like, for presentation.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together pecans, honey and lemon peel. Use a melon baller to remove the cores from the bottom of the pears, then peel the pears. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture into the hollow of each pear.
- Lightly roll pie crust into a 12-inch circle; cut into 4 wedges. Place 1 pear on each wedge. Brush edges of pastry with milk. Gently shape dough around pears, trimming away excess dough and pressing to seal.
- You can make ahead to this point, then cover and chill up to several hours. When ready to cook, add 5 minutes to the cooking time.
- Brush pastry with milk; sprinkle all over with coarse sugar or roll pears in the coarse sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes (30 minutes if completing from chilled).
- If desired, drizzle with extra honey just before serving. Serve warm.
