Apple Dumplings Like Oma Used to Make

I love experimenting with new recipes, and I love it even more when they turn out well! My sister sent me a recipe the other day for apple dumplings and it sounded weird enough I had to try! I tweaked it just a little and it turned out delicious! Not only is it easy, but it requires ingredients that most of us have on hand. My whole family loved it, I hope you try it and love it too!

(PS. While it's perfect for fall, it would be beautiful and delicious during the holidays as well. Adding some sugared cranberries would make the sauce a lovely pink color, and served with some vanilla ice cream, it would be an easy alternative to homemade pie.)


EASY Apple Dumplings:

2 large Granny Smith Apples peeled and cut into 8 wedges
2 packages of refrigerator crescent rolls
1 C butter
1 1/2 C white sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 C Sprite

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cook until it's completely incorporated all of the butter. Pour over the apple dumplings. 
4. Pour Sprite over the dumplings.
5. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes uncovered in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
6. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes so the sauce can thicken up and serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
