FAQ

Can I use homemade pie crust?
Yes! Homemade crust adds extra flakiness and flavor.

Tart apples like Granny Smith balance the sweetness, while Honeycrisp or Fuji add a milder flavor.

Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble the dumplings and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Syrup should be added right before baking.
