Ingredients

• 2 large 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
• 1.5 cups Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

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 slice each apple into 8 equal wedges.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Wrap each apple wedge tightly in a crescent roll triangle, starting at the wider end, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the buttery sugar mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.

Step 7

Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience!
