Ingredients
Dumplings
- 3 cups Bisquick
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter (refrigerated and cut into cubes)
- 1½ cups buttermilk
Filling
- 3 McIntosh apples
- 2 tsp lemon juice
Sauce
- ½ cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
- ¾ cup apple cider
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
Dumplings
- Preheat oven to three hundred and fifty degrees. Grease a baking dish.
- Sift three cups of Bisquick, one teaspoon of baking powder, and one and one-half teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in one-half cup of cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in one and one-half cups of buttermilk being careful not to over mix.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap. Place the dough into the refrigerator to chill and prepare the filling.
Filling
- Peel, core and thinly chop three McIntosh apples. Place the apple pieces into a mixing bowl and evenly coat them with two teaspoons of lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from turning color.
- Set the apples aside and prepare the sauce.
Sauce
- Melt one-half cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in two-thirds of a cup of sugar and remove from heat.
- Add one-third of a cup of chopped walnuts and one teaspoon of vanilla.
Preparation
- Roll the dough into a rectangle and cut into evenly sized squares. You should end up with twelve to sixteen squares.
- Drain the liquid from the apples, and place a small amount into the center of each square.
- Fold the corner of each square into the middle and press the seams together, resembling a diamond shape. Repeat with remaining dough and apples, placing seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour three-quarters of a cup of apple cider evenly over each dumpling and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- Bake for approximately thirty minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool down for twenty minutes.
- Pour the sauce of the dumplings and serve.
