Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large apple (Fuji, Granny Smith, or any tart variety)
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup 7-Up or equivalent soda (6 oz.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Peel and core the apple, then cut it into 8-10 wedges.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
- Wrap each apple wedge in a crescent roll triangle, starting at the wide end. Pinch the edges to seal and place in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
- Pour the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture evenly over the wrapped apples.
- Pour the soda around (not directly over) the dumplings in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the best experience!
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness. Don’t pour soda directly over the dumplings—pour around them to keep them crispy.
