COMMENTS
These are so easy to make, do not need many ingredients from the pantry and are absolutely divine! Experiment with the cooking times and temperatures, as all ovens differ, and it is important to have the dumpling cooked and the apple soft on the inside. Aluminium foil can be placed over oven dish to aid the cooking of the apples.
