These Easy Apply Dumplings are the perfect treat for an afternoon tea party—or a dessert to share with family and friends. It’s ridiculously easy (only seven ingredients!) and taste as delicious as if you’d spent hours slaving away in the kitchen to make them.

They’re puffy little bites of buttery, cinnamon sugar coated dough tucked around perfectly tender apple slices. It’s like all the great taste of apple pie without any of the work! Plus, a secret ingredient (Mountain Dew!) gives them an extra dose of sweetness and fluffy texture that’s too good to pass up.

 

Ingredients:

2 large baking apples or 3 medium. Granny Smith recommended.

2  cans Crescent Rolls (8count)

2 sticks butter

1 1/2 cup sugar….I use a little less if I’m using a sweeter apple than Granny Smith.

1 teas vanilla

Cinnamon to taste

1 can Mt.Dew Soda

 

Directions:

Peel and core apples. Cut large apples into 8 wedges or medium into 6 so you have at least 16 slices. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll starting at wide end.

Place in a 9×13 greased pan.

Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, then pour entire mixture over apples. Pour Mt. Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream.

Quick tip: Replace half of the sugar with brown sugar for more of a caramel flavored sauce.
