Hi Tiena, You could certainly give this a try, but I have a feeling this may soften up your apple and create a lot more liquid inside the dumplings than normal. I would recommend baking them off, sans syrup, and freezing them fully baked. You can warm them up and top them with the syrup before serving. Let me know how they turn out and I hope your dad has a birthday filled with great food! -Gwen
