This apple dumpling recipe uses Granny Smith apples, a Pillsbury Crescent roll, and a can of Mountain Dew.
Oh, and more butter than I’ve ever seen. Serve these beauties with vanilla ice cream (or if you’re on a diet, you’ll wonder how these ordinary ingredients can be so sublime.
To make these puppies, all you have to do is roll croissant dough around apple slices, pour a mixture of melted butter and sugar over the top, take some Mountain Dew out of the box, sprinkle with cinnamon and cook. And ta da! You have a dessert that everyone will love.
With a little bit of effort to get a great dessert, this recipe definitely made me rethink all of my complicated dessert recipes. What’s the point of working in the kitchen for hours if something semi-homemade will do?
I will definitely making them again. Perhaps a cheese and berry filling would also be good. Or maybe a peach…
*ingredients :
*Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8″ x 8″ baking pan.
Cutting each apple into 8-10 wedges.
Also cut the apple peel and keep it apart.
Separate croissant dough into triangles.
Roll each apple slice into the crescent moon dough, starting at larger end.
Pinch the apple closed, cover it, and place it in the baking dish. {It’s easiest if you dry apple wedge first and then roll the dough around it.}
Melting butter in a small saucepan and add the sugar & cinnamon. Heat while whisking until homogeneous.
The mixture will slowly blend and thicken. When it becomes thick, remove from heat and add vanilla.
Pour cinnamon mixture over the apple balls. Pour soda on dumplings. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown!!!
Enjoy !
