Vegan Marillenknödel (Apricot Dumplings)

Let's clarify things first: apricots and “marillen“ are the same. Only in the Bavarian area and Austria, you say “Marille“ and not apricot. “Marillenknödel“ is a traditional Austrian dish, you serve with melted butter and sweet breadcrumbs. Today we show you our vegan version of it.

The apricot season runs from July to August, and there are lots of possibilities to enjoy these small orange fruits. If you already ate them on your cake or plain, go for these dumplings. And make sure to have enough space in your stomach, this dish is a bomb!
