These easy-to-make apple dumplings combine flaky crescent rolls, sweet apple pie filling, and a buttery sugar mixture, making them the perfect dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (20 oz) can apple pie filling
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can lemon-lime soda
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. - Prepare the Dough:
Open the cans of crescent rolls and separate the dough into pre-cut triangles. - Add Apple Pie Filling:
Place a generous spoonful of apple pie filling onto the widest part of each dough triangle. - Roll the Dumplings:
Starting at the wide end of the triangle, roll the dough up tightly, enclosing the apple pie filling inside. - Arrange in Baking Dish:
Place each rolled dumpling in the greased baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. - Prepare the Butter Mixture:
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar using a mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and well combined. - Add Butter and Soda:
Drop a teaspoon of the butter mixture over each dumpling. Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the dumplings, ensuring not to pour it directly over them. - Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and puffed up. - Serve:
Serve the apple dumplings warm, ideally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
