EASY Apple Dumplings

February 19, 2018 · by · 6 Comments

One of my favorite recipes of all times. You would never believe the secret ingredient …once you try this recipe, it will be your “go to” for quick and easy desserts. I love, love, love these. Serve them warm and a la mode. Trust me, you’ll be asked for the recipe over and over. Enjoy…


Peel, core and slice 3 Granny Smith apples (that is all you will need, honest).

Place one slice of apple onto one triangle of crescent roll. Start at the wide bottom side and roll up a bit, tuck in sides , then continue rolling.

Place in a buttered 9×13 pan

In a medium sauce pan add 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Heat on medium high heat until boiling.

Pour sauce over apple dumpling then add Mountain Dew to the sides.

Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake uncovered in a 350 oven for appx 35 mins.

Here they are fresh and piping hot out of the oven. Serve with vanilla ice cream. This recipe makes a GREAT conversation piece…ask everyone to guess the *secret ingredient…they never will, hehe.

    Looks yummy. I love the idea of using mountain dew. My motherinlove used to make them using orange juice and that was always a hit. I’ve been trying my hand at a few recipes using coke. Amazing how juicy and tender your meats are. Thanks for the recipe. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
