You are guaranteed to find a delicious southern recipe each month in our new column Mama's Way or Your Way? We take a from scratch favorite and streamline it for today's busy lifestyle. I love how we share both recipes because I am constantly on both sides of that spectrum, and i bet you have too. You want homemade flavor and tradition but you only have a handful of minutes and the in-laws happen to be on their way -OR- it's Saturday afternoon and you are feeling like a fun and tasty project to share with your family. Well this column is for you! Busy weeknights to weekend "chef-ing" you can have it either way to suit your desire for a home cooked treat.
It's hard to beat a warm apple dumpling in the fall. I got the assignment to make them both for the photos in the new October issue. The homemade dough in Classic Apple Dumplings is simply divine. It takes a little extra time but is worth every bite (trust me i ate two.) Your family is sure to enjoy Quick Apple Dumpling Bundles as well. Refrigerated pie dough and frozen apples makes this a snap to assemble before dinner and ya'll will be enjoying the flaky warm goodness in know time. Added bonus, this recipe is easy enough to get little hands to help in the assembly. Have you streamlined one of your families favorites? We would love to hear it.
