Trisha Yearwood Apple Dumplings: A Sweet Treat
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8
Equipment: Oven, casserole dish, medium saucepan
Ingredients:
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 canned buttermilk biscuits
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Prepare the Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Peel, core, and slice each apple vertically into 8 slices.
- Squeeze the lemon into a bowl of water and add the apple slices to prevent them from turning brown.
- Make the Syrup:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 3/4 cup of sugar, the butter, and vanilla extract.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Wrap the Apples:
- Separate each buttermilk biscuit into 2 layers.
- Wrap a layer of biscuit dough around each apple slice, slightly stretching the dough to overlap and seal at the bottom.
- Arrange the wrapped apple slices, sealed side down, in a 9 by 12 by 2-inch casserole dish.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the hot sugar syrup over the wrapped apple slices in the casserole dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the apple dumplings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the syrup is bubbling.
