apple dumplings

My daughter made these for me and they are so good!!


APPLE DUMPLINGS

Ingredients

2 cans crescent rolls
2 granny smith apples
1 stick butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/3 cup splenda (or sugar)
1 (12 oz) diet Mountain Dew

Directions

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
Peel and core apples. Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge in a crescent roll. Place rolls in a 9 x 13 baking dish. In small saucepan melt butter. Once melted add splenda (or sugar) and cinnamon. Mix well. Spoon over crescent rolls. Pour diet Mountain Dew over rolls. Bake for 45 minutes.


Notes from the Paula Deen Test Kitchen: Splenda is more difficult to mix in butter than sugar. Mixes better if butter is melted. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, Splenda and cinnamon. Remove the dumplings to a wire rack after cooking as the liquid still in the baking dish will make the dumplings soggy. The Apple Dumplings taste like mini apple pies.

I went home and made these last night after I saw your posting on the Main board yesterday....OMGoodness, thanks for this recipe....they were really good and soooo easy!!! 

My family loved them and ate them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  I did not take mine out of the pan after baking because we liked the yummy 'gooeyness' and didn't think they were 'soggy' at all....

Thanks again, these are definite 'make-agains'.... 

I am so glad you liked them. My family loves them too. I didn't take mine out of the pan either and they were fine.....

Thanks for the idea of vanilla ice cream. I didn't think of that...lol  Now I need to make them again....

I wanted to say that I made these for Christmas Eve and they turned out great!  Thank you for the great recipe.

(I did make them and have to transport them about an hour away and left them in the pan and the bottoms did get a bit soggy from the juices, but they were still really good!)

I'm glad you liked them....Thanks for letting me know. They do get a bit soggy, but they still taste yummy....

I made this for Christmas brunch.  They were a total hit! I actually made them night before took them out of remaining juice (which was not much) and let them cool on wire rack.  Them put them back in casserole dish and put in fridge.  Warmed them slowly Christmas am and they were perfect.  Kinda crunchy on top but still wet on the bottom.  Everyone LOVED them!
