Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Granny Smith apples
- 1 package (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 ounces Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into eight equal wedges.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as marked. Place one apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up, completely enclosing the apple. Pinch the seam closed lightly.
Arrange the rolled-up dumplings in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dumplings, being careful not to pour it directly onto them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Allow the apple dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
