Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges each)
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Wrap the apples in dough: Separate the crescent dough into triangles. Wrap each apple wedge in one triangle of dough, starting at the wider end and rolling to completely enclose the apple. Place all the wrapped apples seam-side down in the prepared dish.
- Prepare the butter sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Coat the dumplings and bake: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dumplings. Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or cream.
Notes
- This recipe works best with tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle chopped pecans or a pinch of nutmeg over the top before baking.
