Apple dumplings

everyone: 5 stars

You know a recipe that calls for equal parts apple and butter is going to be good.

Ingredients

2 (8 each) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

2 sticks of butter, melted

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 can (12 oz) 7 up (any citrus soda would work, I imagine. I used sparkling coconut water with lemon juice)

2 honeycrisp apples, peeled and cored, each cut into 8 equal slices

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°

Separate crescent triangles and place a piece of apple on the wider side of each triangle of dough and roll into a crescent. 

Place onto greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine the butter, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until there are no lumps, and pour over the rolls.

Pour soda between rolls, but not over, and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
