2 1/4 lb. tart cooking apples
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 c. water
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 c. biscuit mix
1/3 c. milk
1 tbsp. sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Wash, pare, core and thinly slice the apples.

Place apples in a 12 inch skillet.

Add 3/4 cup sugar, ground ginger, water and lemon juice and stir well to combine.

In a small bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until mix is moistened.

Heat apple mixture to boiling. Drop dumpling mixture in 6 portions over apples. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Cover and simmer until apples are tender and dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
