Easy Vegan Apple Dumplings Recipe
This recipe combines crisp apples with a spiced filling, all enveloped in a soft, flaky dough and baked until golden. Drizzle with a warm cinnamon sauce for a comforting finish that enhances the apple flavor. The entire process takes about 1 hour and yields 8 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples, peeled and cored
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package (16 oz) vegan pastry dough
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the cored apples into quarters. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the vegan pastry dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares large enough to wrap around the apple slices.
- Assemble the Dumplings: Place a few apple slices in the center of each square of dough. Fold the edges over the apples and pinch to seal tightly.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine almond milk, maple syrup, water, and cornstarch. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add vanilla extract and cinnamon, and stir to combine.
- Bake the Dumplings: Place the sealed dumplings in a baking dish, pour the warm cinnamon sauce over them, and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve the warm dumplings drizzled with sauce, and enjoy your cozy vegan apple dumplings.
