This made for a very tender pork roast, which was needed since my son just had his wisdom teeth out! I was surprised how well the dried apples worked. There was good flavor through the brown sugar and apples. I also did add some salt and better. I enjoyed the dumplings very much. Yum! It was fun trying a recipe that is locally famous. :) Made for ZWT7 for the Golden Gourmets.
