Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, plus butter for dish
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (12-ounce) can lemon lime soda (recommended: Mountain Dew)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter a baking dish. Cut each apple into 8 wedges and add them to a bowl of ice water with lemon juice. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Remove the apples from water and pat dry with paper towels. Roll each apple wedge in the dough starting at the smallest end. Put all of the triangles into the baking dish.
In a small bowl mix the sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined. Sprinkle over the apple triangles, generously covering all portions. Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter over the baking dish, evenly distributing it around the dumplings. Pour the lemon lime soda over the dumplings. Bake until the dumplings are golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange on a serving platter. Serve warm with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

This recipe is OUTSTANDING! A few tweeks: Mix the sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg as directed. After you pat the apple slices dry, sprinkle them w/half to 3/4's of that mixture directly onto the apple slices. Then wrap the slices in the crescent roll. Use remaining sugar mixture to sprinkle over the top in sequence as recipe instructs. This way you have that good sugar/spice taste directly on the apple. Oh, so good!!
Also, do follow the sequence of pouring the Mountain Dew, OR Sprite, OR 7 UP, OR Ginger Ale, OR Mountain Dew over the dumplings AFTER sprinkling that remaining sugar mixture over the rolled dumplings. I thought the liquid washed off most of the sugar mixture so one time I reversed the order--liquid 1st then sprinkled sugar mixture over all. BIG mistake--did not turn out right at all.
Clemde73 is right on--A hit every time.

Try spreading cream cheese on the pastry before you fold in the apples. I also added blueberries and or raspberries to give it a twist. Mmmmm good.

I have made these for years. These are so easy and yummy. I also make these with a piece of canned candy yams inside instead of the apple. Oh my goodness! They are so good! Try the recipe using gingerale instead of the lemon-lime soda also. Really good. I just use what I have on hand. Diet sodas work just as well as regular sodas.
