Ingredients
• 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
• 2 (10 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup butter
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (12 oz) can or bottle Mountain Dew
How to Make Apple Dumplings
- Prep Your Dish and Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Slice each apple into 8 wedges and set them aside.
- Wrap the Apples: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Wrap each apple wedge in a triangle of dough, starting at the smaller end. Seal the edges and place them snugly in the baking dish.
- Create the Magic Sauce: Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and combined. Pour this buttery goodness over the apple dumplings.
- Add a Fizzy Twist: Pour the Mountain Dew evenly around the dumplings. It might sound unusual, but the soda helps create a perfectly caramelized sauce while keeping the dumplings moist.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbling with deliciousness.
