ABC Slump
The "ABC" in this recipe's name comes from the apple, blueberries and cranberries it uses. The other part refers to the way the dumplings "slump" during cooking - presumably the sound made by the fruit as it bubbles on the stove. I've take my slump to work, picnics and church carry-ins. No matter where, the result is the same...all that I ever bring home is the empty dish. -Becky Burch, Marceline, Missouri
SERVINGS: 6
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup chopped peeled tart apple
* 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
* 3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
* 1 cup water
* 2/3 cup sugar
* DUMPLINGS:
* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 3 tablespoons cold butter
* 1/3 cup milk

Directions:
In a large saucepan, combine the fruit, water and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
