Apple Dumplings
This semi-homemade version of apple dumplings is made with a delicious surprise ingredient! Apple slices get wrapped in crescent dough, smothered in a caramel sauce, then topped with bubbly canned Sprite. You won't believe how incredible this concoction is when it bakes up!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- Crescent rolls
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounces sprite
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with pan spray and set aside.
- Peel and core the apple. Slice into 8 equal slices.
- Wrap each apple slice in one section of the crescent roll dough, starting on the wide end.
- Lay the wrapped slices in the prepared pan, leaving about 1 inch between each dumpling.
- In a medium saucepan add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Heat over medium heat until thick and bubbling. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the dumplings, being sure to cover the top of each one.
- Pour the Sprite into the pan, being careful to not pour on top of the dumplings.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the dumplings are a deep golden brown and the liquid in the pan has thickened into a syrup. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
