The ABC in this recipe's name comes from the apple, blueberries and cranberries it uses. The other part refers to the way the dumplings slump during cooking - presumably the sound made by the fruit as it bubbles on the stove. I've take my slump to work, picnics and church carry-ins. No matter where, the result is the same...all that I ever bring home is the empty dish. -Becky Burch, Marceline, Missouri Ingredients:
1 cup chopped peeled tart apple |
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries |
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries |
1 cup water |
2/3 cup sugar |
dumplings: |
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
3 tablespoons cold butter |
1/3 cup milk |
half-and-half cream |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the fruit, water and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened. Drop into six mounds onto simmering fruit. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Serve warm with cream. Yield: 6 servings.
