Favorite Recipe of the Week - Apple Dumplings



I have made a ton of desserts lately, and this is everyones favorite. It only takes a few minutes to put together, and has a few basic ingredients. I am not a huge fruit dessert person, but this is sooo good. You all need to make it! You will love it. If you want to see step by step instructions with pictures, go to the pioneer woman cooks website and look for apple dumplings. It is listed under my favorite cooking blogs. She has some good recipes!

Apple Dumplings

2 Granny Smith Apples
2 cans regular crescent rolls
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
cinnamon
small can mountain dew

Peel and core apples. Cut each apple into 8 slices. Unwrap crescent rolls. Roll one apple slice into one crescent roll and place in a buttered 9 by 13. Use all crescent rolls and apples. Melt butter in a saucepan, when melted add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, then pour over apple roll ups. Pour some mountain dew around the outside of the pan. You don't need to use all of it. Maybe about a 3/4 of a cup. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. You can serve this with ice cream and spoon some of the extra sauce over it.

ok, are you actually eating these missy? Don't get me wrong - a 2-stick-of-butter recipe is bound to taste yummy. And I most definitely will be trying that recipe. But your family is so stinkin' skinny! You must be making these and then tossing them out the window! :)
