What is an Apple Dumpling?

An apple dumpling is a pastry-wrapped, baked apple with cinnamon and other spices. The traditional version of the dish involves peeling and coring apples before wrapping them in dough.

The wrapped apples are typically placed in a baking pan with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon before being baked until golden brown.
