Ingredients
- 2 green apples diced
- 4 cups water
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 1 stick butter melted
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon apple pie spice
- ⅓ cup Sprite or 7UP
Instructions
- Peel, core, and dice apples. Place the diced apples in a medium bowl with water and lemon juice to prevent browning of the apples.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Drain the apples from the water and place them back in the bowl. In a small separate bowl combine ½ tablespoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix together and then sprinkle over the apples and stir to coat all sides of the diced apples.
- Roll out crescent rolls into individual triangles. Place 3 tablespoons of apples on each triangle. Roll the crescent roll triangle and seal the edges together to make dumplings.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls in the baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and apple pie spice. Whisk to combine.
- Pour butter mixture over the tops of the dumplings. Pour the Sprite around the edges of the dumplings.
- Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Notes
- An apple corer and apple slicer are invaluable tools when you are making apple desserts.
- Make sure you are very precise with the amount of soda you use. If you use too much, there’s a chance you will end up with soggy bottoms on your apple dumplings. Or worse, they don’t cook properly. So be careful to use just the right amount.
