Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large 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
- 1.5 cups Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel and core the apples, then slice each apple into 8 equal wedges.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Wrap each apple wedge tightly in a crescent roll triangle, starting at the wider end, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined and smooth.
Pour the buttery sugar mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience!
