How to Make Apple Dumpling Quarters

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Peel, core, and quarter 4-6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended).
  5. Unroll 1 (8 ounce) can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.
  6. Gently stretch each crescent roll triangle slightly and wrap it around an apple quarter.
  7. Arrange the wrapped apple quarters in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  8. Pour the hot syrup evenly over the apple dumplings.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
