Amish Apple Dumpling Recipe Modernized

Ingredients

1 can Pillsbury biscuits (instead of making your own)
6 apples, peeled and cored
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups water
¼ cup butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Place an apple in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough around the apple and press it together to form a ball. Set these dumplings in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, butter and cinnamon. Heat it just until it barely starts boiling, stirring often. Pour this mixture over the dumplings and bake them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the dough is golden brown.
