Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 rolls Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Sprite or lemon-lime soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apple into 8 equal wedges. Toss the wedges in a small bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Place one apple wedge at the wider end of each triangle of dough. Roll the dough around the apple, starting from the wide end and working towards the tip, ensuring the apple is fully enclosed.
Arrange the wrapped apple roll-ups in the prepared baking dish, with the seam side down.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring to mix.
Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the crescent rolls in the baking dish.
Pour the Sprite or lemon-lime soda around the edges of the rolls in the dish, being careful not to pour it directly on top of the rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Let the dessert cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
