Apple Dumplings via The Pioneer Woman - http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/02/apple_dumplings/


Ingredients:
2 granny smith apples
1 can mountain dew (can substitute ginger ale or lemon-lime soda)
2 sticks butter
2 pkg crescent rolls
11/2 c sugar
1 t vanilla
cinnamon

Peel, core and slice apples into 8 wedges.

Say howdy to my mom & my puppy (Hi Duc!)! I'm not good at coring apples so I petitioned my mommy to do that part! ;) She's great!

Unroll the crescent rolls & place apple wedge on fat end. Roll up crescent roll around the apple.

Place apples wrapped in crescents in a greased 13x9 pan.

Melt butter in a bowl.

Add sugar and vanilla. Mix just until combined.

Pour butter mixture over crescent rolls. Then pour soda over as well.

Sprinkle with cinnamon. Then bake in 350 oven for 40 minutes.

And then take them out when they are golden.

Decision time: too much butter!! They were way too buttery & soggy on the bottom. It was like sllimey - oh gross. So ... next time I would cut the butter in half... and use fresh soda!
