apple dumpling

Wrapped fruit dessert

An apple dumpling is a dessert of a whole apple or apple pieces wrapped in pastry dough and baked, often with cinnamon, sugar, and butter.

The pastry puffs around the fruit, creating a sweet, tender shell: Grandmother's apple dumplings were best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
