mm, sounds good Barb!!

Thanks Stacy!! It's easy too.

I just made apple dumplings a couple of weeks ago and they were delicious! Only I cheat and buy the pastry already made. (Kroger makes a good pastry!) Anyway, I cored my apples and filled with 6-7 raisins, a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and a tablespoon of butter on top then I sealed the edges and brushed an egg white mixture overtop. I like the raisins, it adds something.

I love raisins too!


Sounds great HC

I love raisins too but dh and ds don't. I add them to mine. lol I've even added chopped walnuts to the top.

I always have that ready made crust in the freezer and never think about it for these....duh! Thanks.
