Ingredients for Apple Dumpling Pudding

• 1 cup applesauce
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus ¼ teaspoon)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Apple Dumpling Pudding

1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup applesauce, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is gently bubbling (about 5 minutes).
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 cup milk.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once and stir gently until just combined and the batter is slightly thick. Do not overmix.
6. Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the bubbling applesauce, ensuring some space between each dumpling.
7. Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
8. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
9. Serve warm, topped with a generous dollop of pouring cream or whipped cream.
