It has the same components as a dumpling – apple, pie crust, and cinnamon syrup – but you don’t have to spend time cutting squares and wrapping apples.

Ingredients

• 3 cups apples – cored, peeled, and chopped
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• Dough for one 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store bought)
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 425F. Place the apples into a single layer in the bottom of a casserole dish or pan (mine was 8×6).
2.In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring as the butter melts. Boil for 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken a little. Pour over the apples.
3.On a floured surface, roll out the dough large enough with a 1/8 inch thickness to cover the dish or pan. Place over the pan and seal.
4.Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Brush over the dough then sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make 3 slits into the dough to let steam escape. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving with ice cream.
