Fuji apples wrapped in flaky crescent rolls, drenched in butter, cinnamon sugar, and Mountain Dew, then baked until bubbly and golden. A nostalgic Southern dessert that's almost too easy.
Ingredients
- 2 large Fuji apples, peeled and cored
- 2 cans crescent rolls
- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 (12 oz) can Mountain Dew
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut each apple into eight wedges and set aside.
Separate crescent roll dough into triangles. Starting at the wide end, wrap each apple wedge in a crescent roll, pinching edges to seal.
Arrange dumplings seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
Stir in sugar and cinnamon until fully combined. Pour butter mixture evenly over the apple dumplings.
Slowly pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the dish and over the dumplings. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until golden brown and sauce is bubbly.
If dumplings brown too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil and continue baking until sauce thickens. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
