| Yield: | 10 dumplings |
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 yellow apples, peeled and sliced into eighths
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- 4 tablespoons vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®), melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Whisk flour, vegan margarine, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until fine crumbs form. Add water and mix to combine. Separate dough into 10 equal pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Chop each apple eighth into 4 chunks. Place apple chunks in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until soft but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Combine brown sugar, water, vegan margarine, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until butter has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Stir marinade and pour over cooked apples in the saucepan. Let apples marinate for 10 minutes.
- Flatten a piece of dough into a circle. Place 4 apple chunks in the center and wrap dough around; pinch to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and apples; reserve remaining marinade.
- Drizzle remaining marinade over dumplings on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
- After marinating apples in apple marinade mix, do not throw it out! You will need the remaining mix to drizzle over apples in the end.
- As an option, add lemon juice to the apples after boiling them to prevent browning.

Recipe makes no sense. “Dough” becomes a batter with one cup of water. Placing apples into saucepan and “bring to a boil” … bring what to a boil? Does not say to add water.
These turned out great, I left them in the oven a little longer to get more color, and also sprinkled sugar which gave them a crunchy bite.
I enjoyed making the dough and filling! I used honeycrisp apples since I couldn’t find yellow. It did take mine 30 minutes to brown. This worked great for my lactose intolerant son. Next time I will put this in a baking dish and add extra sugar. I wouldn’t mind it a rich sweeter.. Maybe even a few tablespoons of extra brown sugar.
