When I think dumplings, Sunday Dim Sum always comes to mind. Dim Sum brunch is a mix between a la carte and buffet style cuisine and is always a memorable quest. You enter the event starving and greedy for any and all treats hiding in each bamboo basket presented to your table. The hustling of the elder Asian women pushing their goods onto your table is a scene everyone must experience. They possess unbelievably competitive drive. I often wonder, are they on commission?! Nevertheless, they provide you with the comfort of fried or steamed dumplings that leave you overly satisfied, wishing that you stopped after that first serving. A lesson that is never learned…
This dumpling recipe is a bit unconventional as it includes fruit and a splash of mountain dew. Yup, I made a double take on this ingredient as well. Pop on apple dumplings? What an absurd idea...I had to try it. I still feel a bit uncomfortable with the fact that I drenched my dessert with soda, but the aroma filling my home begged to differ. The sinful cinnamon scents twirled around my kitchen as the dumplings crisped to a light brown gold, releasing the sweet, slightly tart taste of apples. Not calorie wise, but well deserved, and as simple as it gets.
Xo Dom Appetit!
