Ingredients:
- 1 large apple {I used a Fuji- any apple will do, tart is better}
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup or 6 oz. 7-Up or equivalent (half the can)
Directions:
1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 baking dish.
2: Cut each apple into 8-10 wedges.
3: Slice the apple skin off as well and set aside.
4: Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
5: Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the wide end.
6: Pinch to seal and cover apple and place in the baking dish. {This is easier if you first pat the apple wedge dry, then wrap dough around it.}
7: Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Heat, whisking to combine.
8: The mixture will slowly combine and thicken. When it’s thickened, remove from heat and add vanilla.
9: Pour cinnamon mixture over the apple dumplings. Pour soda over the dumplings. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown!!!
