The Fabulous Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings

Don’t be fooled by the ingredients. The Crescent rolls stuffed with apple, cinnamon sugar and Mountain Dew does something similar to magic in the pan.


Ingredients:


  • 2 (8 each) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
  • 1 can (12oz) 7 Up (or Mountain Dew)
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

Instructions:


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Wash the apples, peel and cut into eight equal slices.
  3. Unwrap the crescent roll and separate the triangles.
  4. Place a piece of apple on each triangle of dough (on a wider side) and roll it in a croissant.
  5. Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the butter, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla, mix until you get a liquid mixture without lumps and pour over the rolls.
  7. Pour soda (7up or Mountain Dew) between rolls (but not over) and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until they become golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
