Ingredients

2 large Granny Smith apples

1 8-ounce can crescent roll dough

1/2 cup unsalted butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 8 equal wedges.

3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.

4. Place an apple slice at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the point.

5. Arrange the rolled dumplings in the prepared baking dish.

6. In a saucepan or microwave, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.

7. Pour the mixture evenly over the dumplings.

8. Pour lemon-lime soda around the edges of the pan, not over the tops.

9. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

10. Let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite topping.

Notes

For extra flavor, try using butter-flavored crescent rolls.

Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for added crunch.
