Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Oven
• 8×8 baking dish
• Small saucepan
• Whisk
• Knife for slicing apples

Ingredients

• 1 large apple (Fuji or any tart apple)
• 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 cup or 6 oz. of 7-Up or equivalent (half the can)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 baking dish.
2. Cut the apple into 8-10 wedges and remove the skin.
3. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
4. Roll each apple wedge in the crescent roll dough, starting at the wide end. Pinch to seal and cover the apple, then place it in the baking dish. It’s easier if you pat the apple wedge dry before wrapping it in dough.
5. Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Heat and whisk to combine until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and add vanilla.
6. Pour the cinnamon mixture over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
7. Pour the soda over the dumplings.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips for Success

Make sure to seal the apple wedges completely within the dough to ensure they become tender during baking. Baking the dumplings covered for the first 30 minutes and then uncovered for the last 15 minutes helps the dough cook thoroughly.

Additional Tips or Variations

If you find the sauce to be too plentiful, try reducing the amount of soda used. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Jonagold or Granny Smith, for a slightly different flavor profile.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

While these dumplings are irresistibly delicious, they are also a treat, so enjoy them in moderation!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the dumplings and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
