Ingredients (Serves 6)
For the Dumplings:
2 firm apples, such as Granny Smith
1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
½ cup melted butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Toppings:
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel sauce
Whipped cream
Quick Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Apples
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Core the apples and cut each one into eight wedges. There’s no need to peel them.
2. Wrap the Wedges
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place one apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle, roll it up, and arrange the dumplings in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
3. Mix the Sauce
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the dumplings.
4. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the warm sauce over the dumplings before serving. Add a scoop of ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Extra Tips for Delicious Results
Want more sauce? Add half a cup of lemon-lime soda (like Sprite) to the pan before baking.
For added flavor, toss the apple wedges in a bit of vanilla extract and nutmeg before wrapping.
These dumplings can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated—just bake when you're ready.
