Easy Apple Dumplings make a delicious finish to any fall meal. They are a cinch to make with refrigerated biscuit dough and are best when served warm with lots of vanilla ice cream!
As soon as the first hint of fall weather arrives, I can’t stop thinking about fall baking. And these Easy Apple Dumplings are at the top of my fall baking list every year.
Since there’s plenty of sweetness going on in this recipe, I like to use a tart apple like Granny Smith. If you want to use a sweeter apple, try Gala or Honeycrisp.
These Dumplings are super buttery with lots of cinnamon flavor and they’re best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Using refrigerated biscuit dough is a great shortcut. They make the recipe virtiually foolproof.
For even more flavor, you can try drizzling a little caramel sauce over them when you dish them up.
If you’re looking for an easy fall recipe that is absolutely delicious, look no further than these Easy Apple Dumplings.

I have been looking for an apple dumpling recipe that does not use dough wrapped around a whole apple. My mother made one similar to this so I was happy to see this recipe. I was also happy it served 4 instead of 12. Perfect for one couple with two guests. I’m anxious to try this since I love everything apple.
These were divine!
My kids loved these!
