Follow Me On Instagram at sharpharmade! . Saturday September 17, 2016 is Apple Dumpling Day. "With their origins as a humble peasant dish from the colder European climates of England, Bavaria and Austria, apple dumplings have crossed the Atlantic and spread their sweet smell to the New World. Over the centuries, they have become an internationally loved treat found in many grandmothers’ cookbooks and certainly worth of their own day of celebration. Originally, apple dumplings used to be boiled and steamed, and the word itself comes from German dampf, meaning steam. Nowadays, this aromatic dish is typically baked and stuffed with spiced and sweetened Granny Smith apples, previously cored and peeled. The crucial spice is cinnamon, though nutmeg and lemon zest are popular as well. People across Europe and Northern America bake the dumplings for dessert all the time during the apple harvest season, but they also enjoy them year round using dried apples if necessary. Revisit the smells of your childhood and celebrate the Apple Dumpling Day by serving this rustic treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drenched in decadent caramel sauce." ^sPm - #sharpharmade From 'Days of the Year'. #fit #wp #fb #blog #follow #like #share #appledumpling #appledumplingday #apple #dumpling #peasant #dish #tweet #twitter #buffer #tagsforlike #dessert #linkinbio #lpt #tasty #awesome #delicious #dessert #icecream . @Instagram @sharpharmade
