Potato Dumplings with Cabbage
and Apples

Pierogi—Polish-style comfort food—are usually filled with meat, seafood, cheese, potatoes, or mushrooms. They can be quite time-consuming to make, but fortunately, excellent frozen varieties are available. Serve with pumpernickel-raisin rolls and a sliced tomato salad.
