Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 4 Apricots (pitted and quartered)
• 0.5 cup Blueberries
• 2 Plums (pitted and sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the apricots, blueberries, plums, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and reduce the heat to low. Let the fruit mixture simmer gently while preparing the dumplings.

Step 6

Using a spoon or your hands, shape the dough into small golf-ball-sized dumplings.

Step 7

Carefully place the dumplings into the simmering fruit mixture, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 8

Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the heat and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings warm, ladled with the fruit mixture and syrup from the pan. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.
