Here’s an easy and delicious 5-Ingredient Apple Dumplings recipe that’s perfect for a quick dessert!
Ingredients:
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced into 8 wedges)
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough (store-bought)
- 1 cup sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter (melted)
- 1 can (12 oz) Mountain Dew (or other lemon-lime soda)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Dumplings
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Place one apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle of dough and roll it up. Make sure the apple is fully enclosed.
Step 3: Arrange in the Dish
- Place the rolled apple dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugar until combined.
- Pour the sugar-butter mixture evenly over the apple dumplings.
Step 5: Add Soda and Bake
- Pour the Mountain Dew around the edges of the dumplings in the baking dish, avoiding pouring directly on top of the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
- Let the dumplings cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired!
Tips:
- The Mountain Dew helps create a sweet, syrupy sauce while baking, making the dumplings extra moist and flavorful.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top before baking!
