Stir continuously until light brown, set aside.Place a large pot of slightly salted water on to boil. On a lightly floured surface, roll your dough to about 1/2 cm thick. Cut into 6 - 7 cm squares (depending on the size of your fruit). Place an apricot and cherry in the center of each square and fold all 4 edges in, with your hand roll each of them into a ball. Make sure you seal the edges.Drop your dumplings into boiling water and gently simmer until they float on the top. Let it cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove dumplings and roll them evenly in the almond breadcrumbs. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with icing sugar mixed with cinnamon.
