Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 package (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Lemon-lime soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into 8 equal wedges.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Wrap each apple wedge in a crescent roll triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling up. Pinch the edges to seal. Place the wrapped apples seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
Gently pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, being careful not to pour it directly on top of the dumplings.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
