Notes: My dumpling prowess has declined steeply through the years. It was Jeff's favorite dessert and may be again if I figure out how to fix the problem, which seems doubtful since I have no idea what it is.
I first baked these apple dumplings in our first apartment, at 1328 W Shepherd, in Denison, TX, for my daddy's birthday. He told me that they reminded him very much of those his mother baked when he was a child, except that his mother served them with heavy cream (not whipped).
