Craze-E Apple Dumplings!

• 4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
• 1/4 cup golden raisin
• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Drop dumplings
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used a thick, greek-style)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 dash salt
• To Garnish
• chopped toasted walnuts or pecans

1. Grease crockpot liner.
2. Toss apple slices and raisins with flour. Place in crockpot.
3. Combine apple juice, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract and spices and pour over the apples.
4. Cook on low for 5 hours.
5. For dumplings: Beat together all dumpling ingredients. Spoon generous teaspoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the apple mixture in the crockpot (I got 12 generous teaspoonfuls - or 2 dumplings per serving). Turn temperature to HIGH setting and cover and continue to cook for 1 more hour.
6. To serve: I served 2 dumplings with lots of applesauce per serving in a deep bowl and topped with toasted, crunchy walnuts and a little whipped cream.
