Easy Apple Dumplings

Apple Dumplings are some of the best pastry-style desserts ever created. With only 7 ingredients, this easy apple dumpling recipe is the best and most flavorful of them all!

Ingredients

1 large apple {I used a Fuji- any apple will do, tart is better}
1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
1/2 cup butter 2/3 cups sugar 
1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup or 6 oz.
7-Up or equivalent {half the can}

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 baking dish.
• Cut each apple into 8-10 wedges.
• Slice the apple skin off as well and set aside.
• Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
• Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the wide end.
• Pinch to seal and cover apple and place in the baking dish. {This is easier if you first pat the apple wedge dry, then wrap dough around it.}
• Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Heat, whisking to combine.
• The mixture will slowly combine and thicken. When it’s thickened, remove from heat and add vanilla.
• Pour cinnamon mixture over the apple dumplings. Pour soda over the dumplings. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown!!!
