Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
    2 c
  • baking powder
    4 tsp
  • kosher salt
    ½ tsp
  • unsalted butter
    6 tbsp
  • whole milk
    ½ c
  • sliced apples
    4 c
  • granulated sugar
    ⅓ c
  • ground cinnamon
    1 ½ tsp
  • light brown sugar
    1 c
  • water
    1 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients. Using your thumb and forefinger, press pieces of the butter into the flour. Continue incorporating the butter until the mixture resembles wet sand with pieces of butter no larger than the size of a pea.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and stir. Form the shaggy dough together, kneading it to form a cohesive dough.

  4. 4

    Roll out the dough to 18 by 12 inches, much like would be done for cinnamon rolls. Thickly layer about three cups of the prepared apples on top of the dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the remaining one cup of sliced apples into the prepared baking dish.

  5. 5

    Tightly roll the dough, once again would be done with rolls, starting with the long side. Cut into nine rolls and place in the baking dish on top of the apples.

  6. 6

    In a small saucepan, combine the water and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the sugar is fully dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the apple roll dumplings.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until the dumplings are golden and the syrup is bubbling throughout, about 45-60 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before serving.

About this Recipe

Embrace the cozy comforts of autumn with these delightful Apple Dumpling Rolls, a lightly sweet dessert that brings the best of fall flavors to your table.

While they might visually remind you of unfrosted cinnamon rolls, these Apple Dumpling Rolls have a unique charm all their own. The recipe expertly marries tender, seasonal apples with a comforting, roll-like pastry, creating a balanced sweetness that celebrates the fresh taste of apples. It’s a quintessential fall-time treat, perfect for using up the season's best produce.

Prepare for a dessert experience that is both familiar and exciting. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of soft, tender pastry and perfectly cooked, spiced apple slices. The gentle sweetness from the granulated sugar and brown sugar, combined with aromatic ground cinnamon, creates a truly comforting flavor profile that is wonderfully suited for a crisp autumn afternoon. You'll find yourself reaching for another one of these delightful rolls, which yield nine generous servings.

Customization & Variations

  • Experiment with different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to vary the tartness. Softer apples will cook down more, while firmer ones will hold their shape better.
  • For an extra layer of warmth, consider adding a pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice alongside the cinnamon in the apple filling.
  • While butter is key for richness, you could explore a dairy-free milk alternative if needed, though the overall texture might vary slightly.

These Apple Dumpling Rolls are ideal for a weekend brunch, a relaxed family dessert, or as a comforting accompaniment to your morning coffee or evening tea, especially during the fall season.
