Ham 'n' Dumplings

By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 1 (2 1/2 pounds) fully-cooked semi-boneless ham, cubed
• 2 (6 ounce each) packages dried apples
• 3 cups biscuit baking mix
• 1 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

In an 8-quart soup pot, combine the water, ham, and apples over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the baking mix and milk just until moistened.

Uncover the soup pot and carefully drop the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the soup pot, making 8 dumplings. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for 18 to 20 more minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and doubled in size.

Notes:
Dried apples can be found by the raisins, apricots, prunes, and other dried fruit in your supermarket.
