Sweet Apple Dumplings
A very particular and little-known dessert typical of Romania made with apples or plums! Last year I made them with plums so this year I chose apples, but I will tell you more you can make them with other fruits of your choice (pears, apricots, grapes, etc). A very simple dessert to prepare with a dough made of potatoes, flour, eggs and a breadcrumb, butter, and sugar coating. Try them because they are delicious!

Dumpling preparation:

Filling preparation:
In a bowl, we put the apple pieces, a bit of cinnamon,
Add the sugar and mix.
Coating preparation:
We put the butter and breadcrumbs and sauté, stirring constantly.
Finally, add the sugar and a bit of cinnamon. Let it cool.
Back to the dough:
Take the warm mashed potatoes, add the egg.
Add the flour, mix and knead until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Take a bit of dough, add some flour if needed and flatten with hands to form a disc.
Place a piece of apple in the center and close it to form a ball. Place the balls on a plate with some flour at the bottom. Continue until the mixture is used up. Cook them in boiling water for a few minutes
(when they are ready, they will rise to the surface). Drain them and immediately pass them in the breadcrumb mix.
Enjoy your meal!
