Apple Dumplings ...p106

Oh my Gosh.  Easy.  Delicious.  Comments evoked, "These are the best apple dumplings, ever!" "This is better than apple pie!" "Why haven't you made these before, mom?"  "Please, sir, I want some more" - the last being our favorite quote from Oliver Twist. 

While making this dessert, I must confess I thought, "eeks, so much sugar!"  "so much liquid - the dough will be mush!" "Why only one little apple (I bought 8 - my usual for pie!)?"  But most fears were allayed when the dessert wasn't the least mushy and the apple pieces amply flavored the crescent roll, however, it was maybe a lot of sugar...shhh....I know it's a bad word.  We left off the ice cream - tasty enough without it, though I know the warm sauce would melt that ice cream to just the right slurpy consistency and act like, well, maybe MSG.  So if you're looking for a quick, easy, and delicious company dessert, serve up Heather's wonderful Apple Dumplings.  I bet you can imagine the critic's response!

Hardy Appetit!
