    Amish Apple Dumplings

    Amish Apple Dumplings

    Amish Apple Dumplings

    By Kevin Williams

    We are in apple season now, which means fresh cider, tart pies, and, yes, homemade apple dumplings.  As an aside, I think the first movie I ever saw in a theater was a Disney movie called "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again."  My Dad was a good sport, taking my brother and I to movies that probably wouldn't have been his first choice.  I'm not sure whether it was that movie or "The Cat From Outer Space" that was my first.  I remember more of Cat From Outer Space, so I'm think Apple Dumpling was my first.  Oh well, tangent aside, I have this superb recipe from John Mast, an Amish man in Vanceburg, Kentucky. He was nice enough to share the recipe with us.  Perfect for fall!   Another aside, the recipe seems pretty straight forward, but I am not sure what "flaky crust flour" means...perhaps one of our readers can give some guidance?

      I tried googling Flaky Crust Flour and I'm thinking it might be a store brand...perhaps someone local milled the flour under that name...?

        Could be, Virginia, not sure...but thanks for checking, I've been so time-strapped lately it's been tough to do "deep digging" on anything!
