Ingredients:
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 can (12 oz) lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Apples: Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place an apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up, wrapping the dough around the apple. Place each dumpling in the prepared baking dish.
Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly over the dumplings in the baking dish. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.
Add the Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, avoiding the tops of the dumplings.
Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Serve: Serve the apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of the syrupy sauce from the baking dish. Enjoy!
