Are you ready to try a delicious and easy dessert recipe that will leave your taste buds craving for more? Look no further! Here is Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

  • 1 large apple (I used a Fuji, but any apple will do; tart ones work 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8×8 baking dish.
  2. Cut each apple into 8-10 wedges. Don’t forget to remove the apple skin and set it aside.
  3. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
  4. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough, starting at the wide end. Make sure to pinch the dough to seal and cover the apple.
  5. Place the wrapped apple wedges in the greased baking dish. It’s easier if you first pat the apple wedges dry before wrapping the dough around them.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
  7. Heat the mixture until it thickens. Once thickened, remove it from heat and add vanilla.
  8. Pour the cinnamon mixture over the apple dumplings, and then pour the soda over them.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the dumplings turn golden brown.

Get ready to enjoy these mouthwatering apple dumplings on your own or share them with your loved ones. They are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy night at home or a family gathering. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!
