Equipment

1 9 x 13 baking dish

Ingredients

2 medium apples Honey Crisp or any baking apples, peeled and cored, sliced into 8 slices each
2 cans crescent roll dough Pilsbury is a popular brand
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 ¼ cups white sugar Brown sugar can also be used
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
8 oz Sprite Less than the full can! Ginger Ale or Mountain Dew can be substituted.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Peel, core and cut each apple into 8 wedges. We will be making 16 apple dumplings.
Separate the crescent rolls into triangles (normally 8 per package). Roll each apple wedge into the dough, starting with the largest end. I seal the apples in by pinching the ends.

In a small saucepan on low heat, melt butter, then add sugar and cinnamon. Once sugar is dissolved, pour onto the unbaked apple dumplings.
Pour Sprite around dumplings (around edges of pan and down the middle, trying to not wash off the sugar cinnamon you just poured on).
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

Delicious apple dessert that is made in individual servings.
After baking, spoon the sauce over the apple dumplings. The sauce is delicious! Vanilla ice cream may also be served with this.

Refrigerates well for up to 3 days, but I don't recommend freezing it.
