Tips for Making Apple Dumpling Biscuits

Boil water for exactly 6 minutes use a timer
If you're in a hurry use a baking mix that can substituted for homemade dumpling biscuits or canned biscuits baking times will vary
Cinnamon and spices enhance the flavors of the biscuits on top
Any fruits can be used, some need additional sweetness to taste
For fall pumpkin and sweet potatoes, it is recommended to pre-cook around cubed either boiling or microwave around 4 minutes.
For dumpling batter just stir until combined
Use deep casserole for more juice and for thicker syrup 13 x 9 sheet pan
if using canned fruits, use the juice from the can instead of water and reduce the sugar
