Notes

For an extra rich flavor, consider adding a small piece of butter inside each apple before wrapping it with the pie crust. Ensure the apples are fully sealed in the dough to prevent leaking juices, which keeps the filling moist and delicious. Serve the apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
