Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
2 Honeycrisp apples peeled cored and cut in 8 wedges
2 8 ounce cans refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup lemon-lime soda see notes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the baking dish with butter.
Wrap apple wedges in crescent rolls starting at the wider end. Place in prepared baking dish.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in brown sugar and cinnamon; cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, being very careful as it will bubble up.
Pour the mixture over and around the dumplings. Pour the lemon-lime soda around and between the dumplings without pouring over them.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the dumplings are golden brown.

Notes

My go to apples for this recipe are crisp tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Other good choices are Braeburn or Pink Lady (also known as Cripps Pink).
We love cinnamon here; however, you should adjust the cinnamon to your taste.
Feel free to add more spices in small quantities like 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg or allspice.
Any lemon lime soda will work like Mountain Dew, Sprite, 7up or ginger ale.
Don't pour the soda over the crescent rolls just in and around them.
When serving spoon some of the sweet sauce over the delicious dumplings.
Store covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. After that store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days
