Easy to make, these were excellent. Following the lead of another reviewer, I also used 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon and nutmeg because I also didn't have redhots on hand. They were incredibly delicious. I will definitely keep this recipe and make it again.
These are everything an apple dumpling should be. Light, flaky pastry, flavorful apple filling and the sauce. The red hot candies are the perfect addition. They add such a beautiful color and flavor. These are rich and decadent.
After baking, pour the sauce on top of the dumplings and presto! Apple pie. This was phenomenal, everyone should try this recipe.
Oh my! These were so delicious I made them two days in a row. I substituted 1/4tsp. cinnamon and 1/4tsp. nutmeg for the redhots since I didn't have any on hand. This is definitely a keeper!!!
