Apple Dumplings

Boo on me for not taking a picture but trust me...check out this recipe from the ever-so-famous Pioneer Woman!  If you need a good laugh, be sure to read some more of her blog because she is a realist who is hysterically funny about life!  She was a fancy, city big-wig who married a cowboy and has adjusted to the "ranching" lifestyle!  Really great website, chock full of laughs, recipes, ideas, stories, etc. 

So, back to the Apple Dumplings...these are amazingly yummy and even more amazingly SIMPLE!!  SIMPLE I tell ya!  My grandma made incredible pies and after my grandfather passed I spent an entire day with her and she taught me how to make pie crust!  I was a perfectionist (still am) and oh...I struggled and struggled and struggled.  She was so patient with me though.  Anyhow, these dumplings are no where near the goodness of an old-fashioned apple dumpling with homemade pie crust...however, for the time, money, and stresses they are definitely worth you checking in to the recipe for yourself!
