The Pretty good!!
The Dumpling:
For pies and other baking dishes that need apples, Granny Smiths are usually a good pick because they tend to get less mushy. I went the super easy route with the dough and bought buttery crescent rolls which I sprinkled with allspice; apple wedges (peeled and cored) were then rolled up in that buttery goodness. Even more butter (about 1/2 c. + 3/4 c. sugar) got melted over the stove with cinnamon. I poured this heart-attack-prone mixture over top along with a can of Mountain Dew. Bake at 350 until brown and voila, easy dumplings!
About Allspice:
Allspice is so named because it is thought to smell and taste like several spices mixed together, mainly cinnamon, nutmeg, & cloves. So if you don't have this spice, a mix of these three will get about the same result (yay!).
What I wanted to try :(
Cardamom , a spice from India, is one of the three spices usually included in any "Apple Pie" spice mix. It is, however, a bit pricey. Perhaps when I make apple pie in a couple of days, I will splurge on a container. Until then...it will remain a mystery.
