Ingredients
- 2 (8oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (20oz) can apple pie filling
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can lemon-lime soda
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Unpack the crescent rolls and separate them into pre-cut triangles.
- Spoon a generous amount of apple pie filling onto the widest part of each dough triangle. Roll the dough from the bottom end, away from you, to seal the pocket.
- Place the apple-stuffed rolls in the greased baking dish and continue until all the dough is used.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth.
- Dollop a teaspoon of the butter mixture over each crescent roll. Then, pour the lemon-lime soda into the baking dish, filling the space between each roll. Avoid pouring it over the top of the rolls.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve the apple dumplings warm and top them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
