I just finished eating this now. MMMM yumm! Fairly simple and tastes so good! I added a little sauce with the apples, and also sprinkled some white sugar on top of the dumplings before chucking them in the oven. Other than that this recipe is perfect. A keeper!

The name says it all - most awesome! I only wish they tasted as good the next day, but warmed up they are still very much worth eating.
