Ukrainian Dessert Dumplings

These stuffed dessert dumplings with a chewy noodle-dough wrapping are a Ukrainian specialty. The fruit fillings vary widely—ours are stuffed with dried apricots and walnuts, then sprinkled with a cinnamon-crumb topping.

Cooks' note:

Filled varenikis can be frozen 1 month. Freeze on a tray until firm, abut 2 hours, then freeze in sealable plastic bags. Thaw before cooking.
