Description

These apple dumplings are a delightful dessert featuring tart Granny Smith apples wrapped in crescent roll dough, baked in a buttery cinnamon-sugar sauce with a surprising addition of citrus-flavored soda. The result is a warm, comforting treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Apples:
    • 2 Granny Smith apples
  • Dough:
    • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Sauce:
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 8 oz citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew)
  • Topping:
    • Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
    • Peel and core the apples, then cut each into 8 equal slices.
  2. Assemble the Dumplings:
    • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
    • Place an apple slice at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the pointed end, encasing the apple.
    • Arrange the wrapped apple slices in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Sauce:
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
    • Add the sugar and stir gently; the mixture will be grainy.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine and Bake:
    • Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings.
    • Pour the citrus-flavored soda around the edges of the pan, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings to maintain their texture.
    • Lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  5. Serve:
    • Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving.
    • Serve warm, spooning some of the sauce from the pan over each dumpling.
    • Optional: Pair with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, you can substitute the citrus-flavored soda with lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.
  • Ensure the crescent roll dough is cold when working with it to make rolling easier.
  • This recipe is adapted from Ree Drummond’s original recipe.
