Very good and easy to make. Thanks. -
I used to make this recipe & then somehow lost it. It's very good; I am an apple dumpling lover even ask for them instead of cake on my birthday! I added 1 tsp cinnamon to the apples. I also splashed in 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the syrup when it finished cooking. -
