2. In 2-quart saucepan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the 1 tablespoon flour. Add Apple Juice, stirring until smooth. Mix in cinnamon candies and Apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture starts to boil.

3. Stir milk into flour-margarine mixture, mixing until smooth. Drop dough 1/4 at a time over boiling Apples. Cover pan and cook over low heat about 10 minutes or until dumplings are cooked. Cool slightly before serving with whipped topping or cream, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings.
