Apple Dumpling Dessert image

Meet the Cook: The credit for this goes to one of our three grown daughters (we also have a grown son and three grandchildren). My husband loves apple dumplings, but they take so long. So Kathy created a quick-to-fix variation with a nice bonus: no bites of dry crust without filling since it's all mixed throughout! -Janet Weaver, Wooster, Ohio
