Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Nearly any variety of baking apple will work in this recipe, including Braeburn, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • tip 2
    Fresh apples add a nice texture and balanced apple flavor to the dumplings in this recipe, whereas apple pie filling is softer and sweeter.
  • tip 3
    This dessert is best served warm straight from the oven.
  • tip 4
    For an even more decadent dessert, top dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
