Notes

Reheating tips:

  • OVEN: Place the leftover apple dumplings in an oven safe dish and cover with foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. 
  • MICROWAVE:  Place one or two apple dumplings on a plate in the microwave for about a minute or until they're warmed through.
  • AIR FRYER: Evenly space dumplings in the air fryer basket so air can circulate around them. Using the reheat setting or air fryer setting, cook at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
