    Crescent roll apple dumplings, where have you been all my life? They smell like and taste like apple pie but at a fraction of the work and time! I am not a pie maker, even though I love fruit pies. This is the kind of recipe I love. Full of fabulous flavor but super simple. Even the kids can make this!

    Mmmmmmm. It would be great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

    The above is a closeup of one delicious apple dumpling! This recipe is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious! If you like other fruit-based desserts, keep this easy blueberry cobbler or this three-ingredient peach cobbler in mind!

    Why I like this recipe.

    • It is easy and quick to make - 45 minutes in total, and 35 minutes of that is baking time!
    • Who doesn't love the smell of apple pie?
    • Simple ingredients you may have a home.
    • This is an inexpensive but delicious apple dumpling recipe.

    Ingredients

    Country Apple Dumplings
    Ingredients

    A large baking apple
    Refrigerated crescent roll dough
    ½ cup butter
    ¾ cup white sugar
    ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    6 oz Sprite

    Easy Substitutions

    I've seen this recipe made with Mountain Dew and even ginger ale. Use a clear sweet (best is citrus flavored) soda. Do NOT use 'diet' because you need the sugar in the soda to help make the sauce.

    Granny Smith apples are also good. If you buy apples for this recipe, look for a good baking apple. These include Fuji, Gala, and Cortland apples.

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9 x 13 pan.
    3. Cut the apple into 8 wedges.

    4. Separate the crescent rolls into triangles
    5. Roll each apple wedge into the crescent dough, starting with the smallest end. You want to seal the apple within the dough completely.

    7. Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon.

    Pour the caramel sauce onto the apple dumplings.

    Pour Sprite around dumplings - around the edge and in the middle of the baking dish (remember, 6oz is ½ the can)!

    Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the apple dumplings.
