Description

Delight in these Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings featuring tender apple slices wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked in a luscious, sweet buttery cinnamon sauce, highlighted by a fizzy lemon-lime soda glaze that creates a perfectly golden and flavorful dessert.

Ingredients

Dough & Apples

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 2 apples, peeled and sliced

Sauce

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 can lemon-lime soda

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rolls: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Place a few apple slices on the wide end of each triangle, then carefully wrap the dough around the apples, pinching edges to seal and form a dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and apples, and place each dumpling seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  2. Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour sauce over dumplings: Evenly drizzle the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture over the apple-filled crescent rolls in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Add soda: Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings to keep the coating intact. The soda will blend with the sauce to create a sweet, bubbly glaze as it bakes.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dumplings for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving to let the sauce thicken and the flavors meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavor.
  • You can substitute lemon-lime soda with ginger ale for a different twist.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • Ensure the seams of the crescent rolls are sealed well to prevent the sauce from leaking.
  • This dessert can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
