Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh peaches
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoons Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Wash the peaches, carefully cut them in half, and remove the pits. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disk about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a peach half, cut side up, in the center of each dough disk. Sprinkle a small pinch of sugar and a dash of cinnamon over the peach half.
Gently bring the edges of the dough up and around the peach half, pinching the seams together to seal the dumpling. Place the dumplings seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the water, remaining sugar, and ground cinnamon. If desired, stir in the honey for added sweetness. Pour this mixture evenly over the dumplings in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the peaches are tender.
Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as they are, or serve with a dollop of fat-free yogurt or a drizzle of honey.
