Many dumplings are savoury. Apple dumplings, naturally, are not. Dumplings of any type are balls of dough that have been cooked. Different ingredients can be used to make them as well as the dough, including fish, meat and vegetables, as well as the fruit used in this one.
The additional ingredients may be used as a filling for the dumpling, or instead they may be added to the dough mix itself. Usually, if added to the mix, the additional ingredients will be finely chopped.
There are many different ways of cooking dumplings, too. They can be baked, fried, boiled or simmered. How they are cooked can depend on the ingredients in them. There are different types of dumplings made in countries all over the world.
Apples are one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits, which originated in Central Asia, and have since spread across the world with many different varieties. The apple tree was one of the earliest to be cultivated; it may even be the first. Some varieties are more suited for cooking - in other words, using in apple dumplings - than others. The Bramley apple is a British variety often used in cooking.
