INGREDIENT NOTES:

APPLES:

  • This is the main component that becomes juicy and sweet during baking. Apples hold their shape well and give better texture. You may use pears as per your preference.

REDUCED-FAT CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH:

  • It makes flaky outer layers and saves prep time as well. Include regular crescent roll dough if you are not using reduced-fat crescent roll dough.

GROUND CINNAMON:

  • Cinnamon gives a classic warm taste to the dumplings and pairs well with baked apples. It makes the dessert smell beautiful during baking. You may use apple pie spice as an alternative.

GRANULATED MONK FRUIT SWEETENER:

  • It gives sweetness and low calories to the dessert. This sweetener blends well with the cinnamon and apples as well. Include coconut sugar if you are not using granulated monk fruit sweetener.

GROUND NUTMEG:

  • Nutmeg gives a cozy taste that pairs well with the cinnamon. You may use ground cloves as a substitute.

BUTTER:

  • It makes the golden and flavorful pastry while keeping the fat low. You may use coconut oil as another option.
