Apple dumplings are a traditional dessert made by wrapping peeled and cored apples in pastry dough, then baking them in a sweet syrup made of butter, sugar, and spices. The apple inside is often filled with butter, cinnamon, sugar, and sometimes nuts or raisins before being wrapped. As the dumplings bake, the pastry becomes golden and flaky, while the apple inside softens and absorbs the sweet syrup, creating a warm, comforting dessert.

Apple dumplings are often served warm, sometimes with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
