Description

These Easy Apple Dumplings are a delicious and comforting dessert, perfect for fall or any time of year. With tender apples wrapped in crescent dough, bathed in a buttery cinnamon-sugar sauce, and baked to golden perfection, this dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The addition of a lemon-lime soda adds an extra layer of sweetness and helps create a luscious sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
  • 2 cans crescent dough
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 can Mountain Dew (or lemon-lime soda)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Cut each apple into eighths, so you have 16 slices in total.
  3. Wrap the Apples: Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll, starting from the wide end. Place the rolled apples in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until combined. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then remove the saucepan from heat.
  5. Pour the Sauce: Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
  6. Add the Soda: Pour the Mountain Dew or lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, being careful not to pour it directly on top of the dumplings.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Serve: Serve the apple dumplings warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some of the delicious sauce from the baking dish drizzled on top.

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top of the dumplings before baking.
  • These dumplings can also be made with other types of apples, but Granny Smiths are recommended for their tartness, which balances the sweetness of the sauce.
