Apple Dumplings Pioneer Woman Style


We got this recipe from Courtney and according to Dionne, it is the best dessert she ever tasted. I have made it with low fat crescent rolls and half the butter and half the sugar and it is still delicious. A real hit!

OK, Mom, but let's not forget this actually comes from my idol Pioneer Woman! She's so awesome!

Apple Dumplings

2 Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla
cinnamon
1 12 oz. can Mountain Dew (can use Sprite or 7up, is just used for the liquid)

Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.
