These apple dumplings are a delightful, simple dessert that requires only five ingredients and minimal effort. Perfect for a quick yet satisfying treat, this recipe combines tender apples with a sweet, buttery pastry for a deliciously comforting dish. Ideal for busy days or last-minute gatherings!
Ingredients:
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced into wedges)
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent roll sheets)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter (melted)
- 1 can of lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7-Up)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges. Set aside.
- Wrap the Apples: Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a slice of apple on the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough around the apple slice, pinching the edges to seal them completely. Arrange the wrapped apples in a greased baking dish.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
- Add Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda over the top of the dumplings. It will create a sweet, bubbly sauce as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve: Let the dumplings cool slightly before serving. They are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
