Ingredients for Apple Dumpling Bake

  • Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
  • Granny Smith Apples
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • Mountain Dew Soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make Apple Dumpling Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. Separate crescent roll dough into 16 triangles.
  3. Cut each apple into 8 wedges.
  4. Wrap one crescent roll triangle around each apple wedge.
  5. Arrange the apple-wrapped crescent rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the rolls.
  7. Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the rolls, allowing it to seep into the crevices.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
