These warm and comforting Apple Dumplings are great by themselves or served with ice cream.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 35 mins
Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples

1 lemon

1 cup sugar

1 cup of water, plus more to the apples

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 canned buttermilk biscuits

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2Peel, core and slice the apples vertically into 8 slices each. Squeeze the lemon into a bowl of water and add the apple slices to keep from turning brown.

3In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup water, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the butter and vanilla. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat.

4Separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Wrap a biscuit layer around a slice of apple, stretching the biscuit slightly to overlap, and seal on the bottom. Place the wrapped slices, sealed-side down, in a 9- by 12- by 2-inch casserole dish. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the apple slices. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the wrapped apples.

5Bake until golden brown, 35 minutes.

This would be good served with ice cream.
