I’m sharing my top 5 apple recipes today including easy apply dumplings.
Apple Dumplings are so easy to make. Granny Smith apple slices are wrapped in crescent roll dough. A buttery spiced mixture AND 7-Up is poured over the apple dumplings before baking. These are even better served with vanilla ice cream.
Fall is right around the corner, y’all, and my thoughts always turn to apples when I think about shorter days and a soon-to-be chill in the air.
I love apples all by themselves, but I really like them all gussied up in the form of a dessert so I decided to share my top 5 apple recipes!
I recently made easy apple dumplings for Sunday dessert. It’s one of those recipes that I’ve had forever and is always best served with Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream.

I can close my eyes and see them rolling out the dough and crimping the edges with the tines of a fork.
Speaking of apples, here’s the easiest and tastiest taffy apple dip in the world!

The apple bread with the praline topping looks DIVINE! I am over here drooling!
It’s as good as it looks! 🙂 Thanks.
I have always wanted to make apple dumplings. I need to give this a try. I love apples. Apples and pumpkins symbolize fall in my mind.
The apple dumplings are no-fail and so, so good!
Fall is my favorite time of year, as with most folks. I do love good Fall recipes. These are ALL good! Pinning.
I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and everything in between!
The apple dumplings sound so good! I love when fall hits and I can start baking again! I’m pinning.
Yes, we can use the oven again! In the summer it’s just way to hot to bake. 🙂
Oh my goodness, now I’m craving apple-y caramel-y goodness! I can’t wait for it to cool off here so we can enjoy some yummy fall treats!
I know, now that I’m over summer, I’m ready for fall weather!
Okay, had to pin the dumpling recipe!! Looks amazing!

I love just about everything apple during the fall. My favorite way to eat them is an apple bread of some sort because it’s perfect for breakfast, a snack or dessert 🙂
I haven’t made the apple bread with praline topping lately, but I need to make it again soon because it’s so, so good!
There is just too much yummyiness (I just made that word up) going on in this post! I love Fall desserts, especially apples in it. Definitely pinning for later.
Thanks for pinning, Louida! I make up words all the time. 🙂
I should have had lunch before I came by for this one…these all look su yummy. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love apples and everything that can be made with apples. Grandma’s Apple Tarts look so yummy! Need to try them.
They are so yummy, Anna, and they always take me back to my childhood. 🙂
My mouth is watering just by looking at this. Definitely will have to try the Apple Dumplings!
The apple dumplings are so easy, yet so good! My entire family loves this dessert.
I’m going to cry. We have NO crescent rolls here and those dumplings look absolutely amazing! Also, I’ve never had bluebell ice cream but I hear AMAZING things about it. Is it better then others?
My family thinks it’s better than others. 🙂
My aunt and uncle are headed to Hendersonville for apple picking soon. Crossing my fingers they share with me so I can make some of these delish desserts! Pinning!

Hope they share with you! 🙂
I’m planning our annual apple picking trip and those dumplings AND crumble look DIVINE!!
I love to visit apple orchards and pick apples. They usually have the best fresh apple cider.
I love all of these recipes!! They’re all yummy. 🙂
Thanks, Rebekah! I’ve never met an apple dessert I didn’t like! 🙂
Oh my goodness, Alli! I ADORE all things apple!!! (As I sit here munch on one, literally!) Everything looks so delicious!
I just about always have a bowl of apples on my counter. I even like sliced apples in sandwiches.
Glad you linked this to He Matters Linky party. Looks super easy!
My picks are Grandma’s Tarts and the apple dumplings. The apple dumplings seem like they would make your house smell delicious. This post reminds me that Thanksgiving is near.Typically, I’m allergic to raw apples but can tolerate cooked apples.
Every time I cook with apples the house smells just like fall should always smell. 🙂
I think the Grandma’s apple tarts look divine. And the apple bread with praline topping is right up my alley! Pinning this for later. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
Thanks for hosting such a great party!
Ack…they all look so good and I love that they are easy to make 🙂 My kind of cooking. Will definitely have to try the apple dip for the kids….I know they’ll love it.
My kids adore that apple dip. It’s the one they always request and it’s so easy, but tastes so good!
