Ingredients

• 2 pieces Granny Smith apples
• 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 12 ounces Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and core the apples, then cut each apple into 4 equal wedges (8 wedges total).

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.

Step 4

Wrap each apple wedge in a triangle of dough, starting at the widest end. Pinch the seams to seal the dough completely around the apple.

Step 5

Place the wrapped apple dumplings in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 7

Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings in the dish.

Step 8

Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish (not directly over the dumplings) to help create a syrup as it bakes.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

Step 10

Let the dumplings cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
