Jumping in, we head to Roland, Oklahoma. Roland began as a small community called Garrison or Garrison Creek. They voted to change their name in 1904. Within a few years, Roland had a population of over 200, postal service, public school, general stores and grocery stores.
The town doubled and then tripled in size over the next 70 or so years. Their main population spike came when the Cherokee Nation built the casino. It was originally called, Cherokee Nation Bingo Outpost.
It’s a sweet little town, full of history and just across the border into Oklahoma from Arkansas.
On to the recipe!
While looking thru, “Taste Of Heaven: Zion Missionary Baptist Church” I came across Apple Dumplings. I’ve actually made these a few times but it’s been probably 10 years or more. Our youngest had never had rhem before, so I decided it was time to get back at it. And he could also help me.
Couple things:
This recipe is pretty spot on.
- I used Granny Smith apples
- You can also use Sprite if you’d like instead of Mountain Dew.
That’s it. Enjoy!
