Ingredients:

  • 1 large apple (Fuji or any tart apple)
  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Mountain Dew (or equivalent)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel and cut the apple into 8-10 wedges, pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Open the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in the dough, pinching edges to seal, and place in the baking dish.
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then stir in sugar and cinnamon. Heat until thickened, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dumplings and add Mountain Dew around the edges of the baking dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm, enjoying the delicious sauce.
