Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Granny Smith apples
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 ounces Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel and core the apples, then cut each apple into 4 equal wedges (8 wedges total).
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Wrap each apple wedge in a triangle of dough, starting at the widest end. Pinch the seams to seal the dough completely around the apple.
Place the wrapped apple dumplings in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings in the dish.
Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish (not directly over the dumplings) to help create a syrup as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Let the dumplings cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
