Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 ounce each
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 can lemon-lime soda 12 ounce can (such as Mountain Dew or Sprite)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place one apple wedge at the wide end of each dough triangle and roll it up towards the tip.
- Arrange the wrapped apple dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth, then pour it evenly over the dumplings.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, being careful not to pour it directly on top of the dumplings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the apples are tender. Serve warm.
