Ingredients:

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are ideal)

2 cans (8 ounces each) of refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup of granulated sugar

1 cup of unsalted butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

1 cup of brown sugar

1 can (12 ounces) of lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)

Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Prepare the Apples:

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 8 wedges each.

You should have 16 apple wedges in total.

Assemble the Dumplings:

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

Place an apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle of dough.

Roll up each piece of dough around the apple, starting from the wide end, and place the rolled dumplings in the prepared baking dish.

Make the Syrup:

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Stir until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Pour the mixture evenly over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.

Add the Soda:

Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings to keep the tops crisp.

Bake the Dumplings:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Serve:

Serve the apple crescent roll dumplings warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips for Perfect Apple Dumplings:

Apple Choice: Use firm and tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.

Even Baking: Make sure the dumplings are evenly spaced in the baking dish to ensure they bake evenly.

Syrup: The syrup should be poured around the dumplings, not over them, to prevent sogginess.
