How to Make Apple Dumplings With Mountain Dew

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and core 4-6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended). Slice each apple into 8 even slices.
  3. Unroll 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough. Separate into triangles.
  4. Wrap each apple slice with a crescent roll triangle, tucking the edges to seal. Place seam-side down in a well-buttered 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until just melted and combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture.
  7. Pour the butter-sugar-vanilla mixture evenly over the apple dumplings.
  8. Pour 1/2 cup Mountain Dew around the edges of the baking pan.
  9. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon evenly over the dumplings.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
  11. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of extra melted butter (optional).
  12. Enjoy this surprisingly delicious twist on a classic!
