Meanwhile, make dumpling mixture by mixing together first 5 ingredients until crumbly. (A pastry blender makes this really easy!) You’ll want to use a really large bowl for this since you’ll be adding the apples too. Something 10 cups or so works well…even a kettle!
Add apples and stir.
Combine milk and vanilla and stir into the mixture just until moistened.
Drop by spoonfuls over sauce in dish.
FOR TOPPING:
Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of dessert.
Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve warm with ice cream or milk.
