The sweet dessert dumplings are easy to make and especially delicious. I recommend making extra sauce—people can’t seem to get enough of it. —Cynthia Gonzales, Mercedes, Texas

Cinnamon-Pecan Apple Dumplings Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

15 25 40

Ingredients

1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and halved
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
ORANGE SAUCE:
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

Unroll crescent dough and separate into eight triangles. Wrap one triangle around each apple half. Place on a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan, flat side down.
Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dumplings. Bake at 350° for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender.
For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in butter just until blended. Serve warm with warm dumplings; sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).

Editor's Note: To toast nuts, spread in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Or, spread in a dry nonstick skillet and heat over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

I made these apple dumplings for New Year's Day and they were quite the hit! Easy to make too!

These were amazing! Apple was firm, but tender, dumplings were soft and buttery...and the sauce was perfect with it. A big hit w/my holiday company ; )
