About

Nana likes to make up these treats for her grandchildren; they tend to brighten up their days and make their smiles wider! Nana's Apple Dumplings are little buttery bundles of jammy apple goodness, with a golden-brown crust and cinnamon sugar on top! They're also cooked in a refreshing citrus soda, which becomes its own kind of syrupy sauce! There's a lot to love about Nana's Apple Dumplings, just like the love she shares with all of us!
