These Easy Apple Dumplings are made with crescent rolls, cinnamon, butter, sugar and lemon lime soda. The flavor is amazing! In my opinion, any time of year is a good time for apple recipes. Not just fall! There are just so many great ways to use apples and my brain just starts buzzing with all the
possibilities. One of the first recipes that always comes to mind are these dumplings. Can I use peaches instead of apples? Absolutely! Peaches work perfect in this dessert. Check out my recipe for FRESH PEACH
DUMPLINGS! Do you really only need one apple? Yep! One good sized green apple is all you need! It will give you 4 servings of two dumplings per serving. You could double the recipe in a larger baking dish to get 8 servings. I don't really like the flavor of crescent rolls? Does this taste like crescent rolls? No. I really don't think you taste that
traditional crescent roll flavor. The crescent rolls take on a whole new flavor when combined with the cinnamon, sugar, butter and lemon lime soda. Are these super sweet? They are certainly sweet but I think it's always hard to tell other people how sweet or salty something is. Things I think aren't sweet at all may be super sweet to others so I take those descriptions with a grain of salt. I think these are just the right amount of sweetness. However, others who are sensitive to sweetness may find them too sweet. I've always been told that the older we get, the less sweet we like our foods. You can always test the recipe out and then adjust to your particular tastes. Can I use sugar free options? I always get this question on dessert recipes. I do not bake or cook with sugar substitutes. At least not regularly. So I really can never say for certain. However, if you are accustomed to baking with sugar substitutes then honestly you would know better than me if this would work and how to do it.

HOW TO MAKE EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS:Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8-inch square pan with nonstick spray. Peel and core apple. Cut apple into 8 slices. Unroll tube of crescent rolls and separate into 8 pieces. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on the inside of the crescent roll. Add one apple slice. Roll it up in a nice little bundle. Continue with next 7 rolls the same way. Place all 8 dumplings into baking dish. Mix together melted butter with sugar, flour and vanilla extract. Pour butter mixture on top of crescent rolls. Now take soda and pour it around the edges of the crescent rolls. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon if you prefer. Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. The dumplings create the most amazing sauce on the bottom. So scoop that up when serving! You can eat it all by itself or serve warm with ice cream. WANT MORE RECIPES? GIVE THESE A TRY!
