Ingredients
-
4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
-
1/4 cup golden raisin
-
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
-
1/2 cup apple juice
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
-
-
4 ounces cream cheese
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 dash salt
-
1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used a thick, greek-style)
-
1 cup flour
Instructions
- Grease crockpot liner.
- Toss apple slices and raisins with flour. Place in crockpot.
- Combine apple juice, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract and spices and pour over the apples.
- Cook on low for 5 hours.
- For dumplings: Beat together all dumpling ingredients. Spoon generous teaspoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the apple mixture in the crockpot (I got 12 generous teaspoonfuls - or 2 dumplings per serving). Turn temperature to HIGH setting and cover and continue to cook for 1 more hour.
- To serve: I served 2 dumplings with lots of applesauce per serving in a deep bowl and topped with toasted, crunchy walnuts and a little whipped cream.
