Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, cored and sliced
- 1 package (14 oz) store-bought pie crust
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions

- Place an apple slice in the center of each square and drizzle with syrup. Fold and pinch the edges to seal.
- Arrange dumplings seam-side down in a greased baking dish and pour remaining syrup over them.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
