These apple dumplings are simple and easy to make, while being very flavorful. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, the apple dumplings use Mountain Dew and crescent rolls to make them irresistable.
Ingredients
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 cans crescent rolls (16 total rolls)
2 sticks of butter
1½ cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 can of Mountain Dew
Cinnamon sugar mix to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom of 9x13 baking pan. Cut each apple into 8 slices then roll each slice up in a crescent roll. Place rolled apples in buttered baking dish.
In a medium sized pot melt remaining butter then add sugar and vanilla, stirring just to combine (mixture will be somewhat lumpy, no need to dissolve sugar). Pour over apple dumplings. Then pour Mountain Dew along the edges of baking pan and down the middle (between rows of dumplings). Sprinkle tops of dumplings with cinnamon sugar mix.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, watching for the tops of the dumplings to brown. Dumplings are done when tops are light-medium brown and are crispy to the touch.
Serve hot with ice cream. Optional: pour remaining liquid from pan over dumplings and ice cream.
