Lemon-Berry Bundles

Oh yes! It's a party in your mouth with this delicious bit of goodness. It all started with a friend Julie, who made Apple Dumplings for our Thanksgiving Bible Study fellowship. I have to admit, I didn't try them, although everyone raved on and on. My dear friend, Jen, made them the other night using Julie's recipe and would not stop talking about them. Then, Jen convinced our friend Jason to have his wife Candace make them. So, then Jen and Jason were both raving on and on. So, I caved. I made the Apple Dumplings on Tuesday and OH. MY. GOSH. If I were Catholic, I would've gone to confession, they were that sinfully good.

I could not stop thinking about them. The sugary goodness at the bottom of the pan, the ice cream melted on top, the delightful apple cinnamon flavor. Am I making your mouth water? So, I decided to create my own version, using the same basic recipe but adding a bit of "Jenny" to it. It's a party in your mouth for sure, and a wonderful new spin on an already-perfect dessert. I call mine Lemon-Berry Bundles.
