Calling all apple lovers. Here are a couple of old-fashion apple dessert recipes from my vintage recipe collection. Mom’s Apple Dumplings are a delicious after dinner dessert or they are great for visiting with friends or co-workers over a cup of coffee. The Apple-Cheddar Cheese Dessert is so easy even a beginner can make it in no time. Both are also perfect for taking to “pitch-ins”.

MOM’S APPLE DUMPLINGS

DOUGH:
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
FILLING:
5 cups chopped apples
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
SYRUP:
2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup boiling water

Make dough by cutting shortening into the flour until crumbly. Add milk and blend to make a dough. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Roll into a rectangle.

To make filling, In a mixing bowl, put apple, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to mix well.
Spread dough down the center of the dough. Roll up sides to make a roll. Cut into medium thick slices and place in a lightly greased baking pan.

To make syrup, bring water to a boil in saucepan. Add butter and sugar and return to a boil. Pour syrup over dumplings. Bake approximately 1 hour at 375 degrees.

APPLE-CHEDDAR CHEESE DESSERT

6 pared, sliced apples
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup flour
dash salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Place apples in greased baking dish; sprinkle with lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and remaining sugar. Add margarine and mix until crumbly. Stir in cheese and spread over apples. Bake approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees until lightly brown on top.

Enjoy!
