Ingredients
SAUCE
- 1 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 c. cold water
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 Tbsp. butter
DUMPLING MIXTURE
- 2 c. flour
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/3 c. butter, softened (or shortening)
- 5 c. apples, peeled and chopped
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
TOPPING
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
FOR SAUCE:
- Combine the first 3 ingredients in saucepan and cook until slightly thickened. (It won’t thicken much at all.)
- Add vanilla and butter. Stir until butter is melted.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
FOR DUMPLINGS:
- Meanwhile, make dumpling mixture by mixing together first 5 ingredients until crumbly. (A pastry blender makes this really easy!) You'll want to use a really large bowl for this since you'll be adding the apples too. Something 10 cups or so works well...even a kettle!
- Add apples and stir.
- Combine milk and vanilla and stir into the mixture just until moistened.
- Drop by spoonfuls over sauce in dish.
FOR TOPPING:
- Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of dessert.
- Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Serve warm with ice cream or milk.
