Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and cut each apple into 8 equal wedges.
Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
Wrap each apple wedge with one triangle of crescent dough, starting at the wider end and rolling it up towards the pointed end. Pinch the dough to seal it and place each wrapped apple into the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until combined but not completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the wrapped apples in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, avoiding the tops of the dumplings to keep them crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbling.
Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
