Country Apple Dumplings Recipe
These Country Apple Dumplings are a delightful treat made with fresh Granny Smith apples, crescent roll dough, and a surprising addition of citrus soda. Perfect for any occasion, they're warm, sweet, and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients
- - 2 large Granny Smith apples peeled and cored
- - 2 10 oz cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- - 1 cup butter
- - 1 ½ cups white sugar
- - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- - 1 12 oz can Mountain Dew
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Apples: Cut each apple into 8 equal wedges. Set aside.
- Wrap with Crescent Dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in a crescent roll triangle, starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal the dough and place the dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the apple dumplings.
- Add Soda: Pour the Mountain Dew around (not over) the dumplings in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a twist, substitute Mountain Dew with Sprite or ginger ale.
- Granny Smith apples work best for their tartness, but other firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji can be used.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
