Apple season is here! Does anyone else get really excited when you walk in to the grocery store this time of year and they have about a billion different apples on display? I do! Nothing gets me ready for the season faster than shiny Granny Smith, Fuji, Macintosh, Gala, Cortland, and my favorite... Honeycrisp, all beckoning for me to fill my cart so I can go home and get my bake on. Last week was nippy, but we're back to air conditioning weather this week. But that didn't mean I couldn't sneak in an early season quick baking session to satisfy my apple cravings, and this Apple Dumplings recipe from Golden Blossom Honey was just what the doctor ordered.
You know I'm all about the shortcuts lately, and what intrigued me about this recipe was instead of making your own dough, you simply use a can of refrigerated crescent roll dough for the dumplings. It really doesn't get any simpler than that. But, what I liked even more about this recipe was that I could slowly usher in fall while still hanging onto a bit of summer. Combine your warm apple dumplings with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream and you've got the best of both worlds!
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
2 small Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
vanilla ice cream, if desired

What's your favorite apple variety?
OMG that looks so nooom! I shall use that photo as my wallpaper, love the yellow and green mix! We are famous for dumplings here in Vojvodina, ours are from mashed potato dough and filled usually with plums and then wrapped with fried breadcrumbs and sugar.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this American classic, but I haven't tried this yet,looks so delicious!☺
ReplyDeleteI love making easy apple dumplings. The next time I make them, I'm going to add some honey. Looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThis does look amazing! I'll have to make it, but I have to wait until after my cholesterol check.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! I'll have to make some for dessert. We love apple goodies.
ReplyDeleteOh yum! these apple dumplings look amazing. I have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI have not had my first apple of the season yet but I do love to go apple picking. The recipe looks like a great way to enjoy the apples.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that you aren't a professional photographer? Your pictures always look fabulous! That dessert looks delicious, especially with the short cut for crescent rolls. I'm definitely going to have to use this one for a Sunday date with my daughter. I'm just waiting for the temperatures to cool down so that putting the oven on isn't so unbearable.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I keep telling her, she should start selling photos to big photo selling sites, I've used half of her photos as wallpapers as they are so droolworthy :)
DeleteShe totally should!
DeleteOh my goodness yes please! This sounds like a must bake for the autumn season! Definitely something I could tuck into.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are too good. Copied and pasted on my file.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Illinois, across the river from Stark's nursery, where Golden Delicious was created. We made jars and jars of apple butter.
I enjoy your blog.
Looks good
ReplyDeleteI haven't had apples and dumplings before but this looks delicious. Too bad my grandmother isn't around any longer, she loved making goodies with fresh apples. I always think of her when I see apple treats online.
ReplyDeleteI wish that I had a farm close by to go pick fresh apples. The ones from the store are delicious but nothing beats a fresh apple right off the tree.
These apple dumplings look fabulous. They would be so perfect for my afternoon snack!
ReplyDeleteI just heard "apple dumpling"....thank you for recipe
ReplyDeleteI love dumplings - the Chinese restaurant kind. I've never had apple dumplings before. I bet they're delicious.

ReplyDeleteOh yum...the apple dumplings a la mode (with ice cream), the perfect combination. Love this!
ReplyDeleteSure sounds like a quick way with the no need to make own dough. The AC weather sure isn't back here yet, not super cold though.
ReplyDeleteApple dumplings a la mode sound perfect this time of year! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Crescent rolls are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious treat! We love apple so I think this will be perfect for us. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way to usher in Fall. Apple dumplings are delicious. I've probably tried Honey Crisp but I can't remember. Galas are my fave, but I like them all. :)
ReplyDeleteFor the last few years I have been searching for a sweet potato dumpling recipe that my SIL refuses to share, but apple is even better! Thanks so much.(Rena)
ReplyDeleteSee, now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI've never made anything like this and it sounds really good. Ken loves apple anything so I think he'd really like this.
ReplyDeleteI love some apple bottom jeans.
