How to restore "Applications" folder to Dock

In error I removed the Applications folder simply by dragging it out of the Dock.  Although the many Applications still remain, I cannot determine how to restore all of them to the original folder within the Dock.  Can I restore it via the Time Machine which was backed up last night?




Any advice would be greatly appreciated
