Ingredients
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 🍏🍏
- 2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 🥐🥐
- 1 cup butter 🧈
- 1 ½ cups white sugar 🧂
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌰
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mountain Dew 🍋
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure your dumplings don’t stick. 🔥 - Prepare the Apples:
Slice each peeled and cored apple into 8 equal wedges. Set them aside for assembly. 🍏 - Assemble the Dumplings:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Take each apple wedge and roll it in the crescent dough, starting at the smallest end. Pinch the edges to seal. Place each dumpling into the prepared baking dish. 🥐🍏 - Make the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the sugar and ground cinnamon until fully combined. 🧈🧂🌰 - Add the Finishing Touches:
Pour the butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the apple dumplings. Then, pour the Mountain Dew over the top. This might sound unusual, but it adds a unique flavor and helps the dumplings bake up perfectly golden and bubbly. 🍯🍋 - Bake:
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. ⏳
