You can also use this recipe to make strawberry dumplings. The easiest and quickest way to make strawberry dumplings is to use frozen strawberries in place of the apricots.
In a large, wide pot, bring salted water to a boil. Reduce heat and lay the dumplings into the simmering water. To prevent splashing hot water on your hands, place dumplings on a slotted spoon and lower them into the water. Lightly nudge the dumplings with the spoon to unstick them from the bottom of the pot. Once the dumplings have come to the surface of the water, cook them for an additional 10 minutes so that the apricot inside cooks through. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and roll them in the toasted crumbs to coat. Place finished dumplings on a platter while cooking the rest. Serve dumplings with additional crumbs and powdered sugar.
*The raw dumplings can also be frozen. To prepare: place frozen dumplings into simmering salted water. Once the dumplings have come to the surface of the water, cook them for an additional 10 minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and roll them in toasted crumbs.
