How to Make Mini Apple Dumplings

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Unroll one package (8 oz) of crescent roll dough; do not separate.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup honey (adjust to desired sweetness), 1/4 cup peanut butter, and 1/4 cup pumpkin puree.
  4. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and spreadable (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Spread the honey-peanut butter-pumpkin mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  6. Carefully separate the dough at the perforations.
  7. Place 2-3 apple slices (about 1 medium apple, thinly sliced) in the center of each crescent roll rectangle.
  8. Roll each rectangle tightly around the apples, pinching the edges to seal.
  9. Place the apple dumplings in a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  10. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar evenly over the dumplings.
  11. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white sugar (or Splenda), 2 tablespoons melted imperial light margarine (or substitute), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 6 ounces 7-Up soda.
  12. Pour the sugar-soda mixture evenly over the dumplings in the baking pan.
  13. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
