Ingredients
  

  • 2 large apples peeled and sliced
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup soda like lemon-lime soda

Instructions
  

Prepare the Apples

  • Peel the apples and cut them into slices. Make sure the slices are even in size. This helps them cook evenly and become soft during baking.

Wrap the Apples

  • Open the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place apple slices on each piece. Roll the dough around apples and seal edges gently.

Arrange in Baking Dish

  • Grease the baking dish lightly. Place wrapped apple dumplings inside. Leave a little space between each dumpling so they bake evenly.

Make the Sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.

Pour Sauce Over Dumplings

  • Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the dumplings. Make sure each dumpling is covered. This helps create a rich and caramel-like texture while baking.

Add Soda

  • Pour soda gently around the edges of the baking dish. Do not pour directly on dumplings. This helps create a light and fluffy texture during baking.

Bake the Dumplings

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The dumplings should turn golden brown and the sauce should bubble nicely.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with extra sauce from the dish. This gives the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith for best results
  • Do not skip the soda, it improves texture
  • Use cold dough for easier wrapping
  • Add extra cinnamon for stronger flavor
  • Serve fresh for best taste
  • Spoon extra sauce on top before serving
