5-Ingredient Apple Dumplings

Absolutely! Here’s a simple and delicious 5-Ingredient Apple Dumplings recipe 🍎🥟—sweet, soft, and perfect for dessert.

5-Ingredient Apple Dumplings

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), peeled, cored, and quartered

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

   • 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish lightly.

2. Prepare apples

   • Peel, core, and quarter the apples.

3. Wrap apples in dough

   • Unroll crescent roll dough or puff pastry. Cut into 4 squares.

   • Place an apple quarter in the center of each square.

4. Add sugar and butter

   • Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apple.

   • Top with a small piece of butter.

5. Seal dumplings

   • Fold the dough around the apple, pinching edges to seal. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

6. Bake

   • 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

7. Serve

   • Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips

• Use tart apples for a nice balance with the sweetness of the sugar.

• You can drizzle a little caramel sauce on top for extra indulgence.

• Puff pastry gives a flakier crust; crescent dough is softer and simpler.

If you want, I can also give a “quick microwave version” that makes individual apple dumplings in under 10 minutes—perfect for a fast dessert craving.
