Ingredients




Fruit
4 large peaches- cut in half remove the pit, and then slice each half into slices and then slice those in half
4 large nectarines- cut the same way
2 cups of blueberries
1/4 cup of sugar- or honey
(Blackberries, plums and strawberries- are also an excellent addition)
Dumplings
2 cups of flour- you can use whole wheat- or white- or a mix of both
4 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons of butter (the recipe book calls for shortening)
3/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup of applesauce

Preparation

1 The Fruit 2 Place all of the fruit into a baking dish. Sprinkle the sugar on top and gently stir. 3 Dumplings 4 In a bowl add all of the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients and then mix everything together. Traditionally you should roll out the doll and cut the dough; however, that is a lot more work, and dumplings are meant to be delicious and easy (well for me anyways). 5 Place the dough into 6-8 clumps (for a lack of a better word) on top of the unbaked fruit. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them so to not over cook. The recipe book doesn't say what temperature to bake them at, or how long. So it was a guess for us. But it turned out deliciously and I am definitely going to make this, this summer too.
