Adding a baking caramel to each roll-up with the apple makes it extra special and adds ridiculous caramel flavor!
Adding a few chocolate chips to each roll-up is a super a tasty variation as well
Sprinkle the top of the dumplings with raw sugar or dusting sugar will make the dumplings pretty and have a nice texture!
