How to make Mini Apple Crumble Dumplings with Caramel Drizzle

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced 1 Granny Smith apple, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly. Set aside.
3. For the crumble topping, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp packed brown sugar, 2 tbsp diced cold unsalted butter, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. Place in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
4. Unroll the 8 oz can of refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to form a solid rectangular sheet. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 equal squares (approximately 3x3 inches each).
5. Place about 1 tablespoon of the apple filling mixture in the center of each dough square. Avoid overfilling to ensure easy sealing.
6. Bring two opposite corners of the dough square together over the filling and pinch firmly to seal. Then, bring the other two corners up and pinch all seams together to form a sealed dumpling. Ensure no gaps remain for filling to escape.
7. Arrange the sealed dumplings on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each one. This allows for even baking and browning.
8. Remove the chilled crumble topping from the refrigerator. Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble mixture over the top of each dumpling.
9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dumpling dough is golden brown and puffed, and the crumble topping is lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
10. While the dumplings are baking, gently warm 1/4 cup store-bought caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pourable.
11. Remove the dumplings from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly further.
12. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the Mini Apple Crumble Dumplings before serving. These are best served warm, either as a sweet snack or a delightful mini dessert.
