Quebec Apple Dumplings
"To quote Mme. Benoit,"In Quebec these were baked in deep brown earthenware pudding dishes and served on a hot wooden board or tray surrounded by autumn leaves or boughs cut from the Christmas tree. It was a traditional in our family to serve these dumplings after we had finished decorating the Christmas tree."

I had to cut this recipe in half when making it as there were only 4 of us around! Definitely my kind of recipe, what with the cheddar, apples & mincemeat! And, since I have enough mince on hand to last me throughout the year, I fully intend to make this recipe again & again ~ Thanks, much, for posting it!
