CRESCENT ROLL APPLE DUMPLINGS

When it comes to apple desserts, it takes a lot to impress me. I'm just not a huge fan of the texture of a cooked apple, but that was before I met my friend called apple dumpling. She's warm, sweet, and a little flaky, but hey... who isn't these days!?!? Seriously, these little babies are my all-time favorite apple dessert now. They are warm, gooey, and the crunchy part with the sugar on top... good graccious! And easy - it really probably couldn't get any easier. You put some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream with these babies and prepare to be amazed.

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent roll dough (8 ct. each)
2 apples, peeled and cored
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash the apples, peel and cut into eight equal slices or segments.
  • Unwrap the crescent roll and separate the triangles.
  • Place a piece of apple on each triangle of dough (on a wider side) and roll it in a croissant. You can wrap it like a crescent roll or you can wrap the dough over the apple slice covering the whole apple (dumpling style), either way.
  • Place each dumpling in an 11 x 13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam or coated with a stick of butter.
  • In a sauce pan, combine water, butter, sugar, and vanilla and heat to a rolling boil.
  • Pour boiling mixture over the dumpling and sprinkle dumplings with cinnamon.
  • Place uncovered in 350 degree oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until they become golden brown.
  • Serve immediately and top with cool whip. Or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, mmmmm -- Ah-mazing !
  • WARNING: Prepare this dish at your own risk. It is beyond imaginable.
  • I actually cut the recipe in half unless I have a big group to serve. And then I use a square Pyrex dish when I cut it in half.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from breaking apart when you wrap them in the crescent dough.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the melted butter on the crescent dough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the crescent dough with the apple mixture. Otherwise, the dumplings will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • If you are using a baking dish, make sure to grease it well before adding the dumplings. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
