This apple recipe was created by Envy Apples! What is Envy Apples? Well, the motto says it all:
When you’re this good, they call you envy
This apple is the bomb! It has this spicy yet sweet taste I have never tasted before on apple. The Envy apple is perfect for baking into a dessert, like this skillet apple dumpling recipe.
About Envy Apples
You can read about the envy apple here, but a quick synopsis from the Envy website:
It’s an apple grown for our busy, modern lives. A pure and pristine apple that’s a genuine work of orchard-growing genius. And one you can enjoy just about anywhere. With its extraordinary crunch and texture, refreshingly sweet palette and beautiful colours – it’s nature’s passport to a magical moment of indulgent time. Brought to you from the world’s most caring growers.
Deconstructed Recipe
I actually like deconstructed recipes. What is a deconstructed recipe? It when you take a recipe that is usually together and make it not together. This apple dumpling is an example of a deconstructed recipe.
Apple Dumplings
Normally apple dumplings are apples, seasoned, and wrapped up in a dough and baked. So I decided to take a few steps out of apple dumplings and make it an easy apple dumpling recipe.
Skillet Apple Dumpling Recipe
I will admit, what inspired this skillet apple dumpling recipe was something I saw on a frozen bread dough wrapper. They had this apple skillet recipe. I decided to mix up that recipe and use crumbled pie dough instead of bread dough to create a skillet apple dumpling.
Easy Apple Dessert
What I think is the appeal of this apple recipe is that it is an easy apple dessert. It is basically dumped in a skillet cook and serve. I personally like this apple skillet recipe with a scoop of ice cream, now that is dessert recipe I love!

I love sweets made with apple, with apple fritters being my favorite. This sounds easy to make and it would be perfect for an easy fall dessert.

If my skillet could run, I think it would run away from me. I use it for everything. However, I have not tried desserts in it. Interested in trying your recipe. Looks great!

I love rustic desserts and this skillet apple dessert comes at a perfect time. The stores are full of apples all waiting to find a yummy way to fix. I like this deconstructed recipe. Just add a bit of ice cream or whipped cream and it's a wonderful fall dessert.
