What is not to like about warm Baked Apple Dumplings are that are filled with apples and baked in a butter, cinnamon and nutmeg sauce?
I bake these just before dinner is ready, so they can be served warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Should there be any left over, they make a lovely breakfast bread.
Enjoy!
