Vegan Marillenknödel (Apricot Dumplings)

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!
