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.

I found this receipt in the November 2011 Thanksgiving Issue of Southern Living. I have not yet tried it but the directions look very simple.
