Apple Dumplings

Josie M.

Use a 9" x 13" baking dish
Preheat oven to 350

2 cans Crescent rolls - 8 to a can
2 large Granny Smith Apples cut into 8 pieces each (Can use any kind of apple)
*1 cup Butter
*2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
10 oz. Mountain Dew

Peel and slice apples into 16 slices
Roll 1 apple slice into each crescent roll starting at the wide end; and place into baking dish.
In a saucepan - melt the sugar, vanilla and butter. (DO NOT CARAMELIZE) Just enough heat to melt the sugar.
Pour sugar mixture over rolls, sprinkle with cinnamon; then pour Mountain Dew over the top of the rolls
Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven then cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!

*Suggest sugar be cut to 1 1/2 or less cups and butter to 1 stick. (I don't do this but know someone who has and they say it tastes fine)
