Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Granny Smith apples
- 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice each Granny Smith apple into 4 equal wedges, making 8 pieces total.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangular pieces.
Wrap each apple wedge in one crescent roll triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling up. Pinch the dough edges to seal. Place each wrapped apple seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the butter-cinnamon mixture evenly over the wrapped apple dumplings in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the pan, avoiding pouring directly on the dumplings.
Bake the dumplings in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Allow the dumplings to rest for 5 minutes after baking, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
