... “One day my father-in-law — we called him Poppy — came home with six apples, and asked if I would make apple dumplings for him,” Goodhart said. “It was such a simple request.” Paul Goodhart loved his apple dumplings so much that it gave his daughter-in-law an idea. She began making apple dumplings for others who needed a sweet pick-me-up. That was 15 years ago. Since then, Goodhart has enlisted help from others, dubbing the group the Apple Dumpling Gang. Just last week, the group of nearly 40 women made 775 apple dumplings for seniors, hospice patients, retirement home residents, shut-ins, cancer patients and anyone who could use the heartfelt blessing of an apple dumpling handmade with love.
