Apple Dumplings, So Easy!


I have seen this recipe floating around different sites and recipe books and I thought I'd give it a try! It seems pretty easy and something about apple dumplings in the fall just made me giggle with joy!
You can even make these in place of an apple pie for Thanksgiving...maybe?

Apple Dumplings

2 large Granny Smith Apples
2 (10 once) cans of refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough
1 cup of butter
3/4 cups white sugar
3/4 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 once) can of citrus flavored soda, like Sprite, Mountain Dew, or even Ginger Ale
*this is the soda amount in the recipe I found, but it seemed almost too much liquid for me? So next time I may do a little bit less. It was still good though.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.
  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour Mountain Dew™ or whatever soda over the dumplings.
  4. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
  5. Serve it straight up, or with whipped cream, or ice cream, or both!
