Easy Country Apple Dumplings

Easy Country Apple Dumplings 2 small apples ,peeled and cored 8 ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 cup Sprite soda Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cut each apple into 4 wedges. Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place an apple wedge near the small end of the dough triangle, then roll up. Pinch the ends to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon; stir until combined and smooth. Drizzle butter mixture over the dough. Pour the Sprite to the sides of the dumplings (not on top) so a nice crust is formed while baking. Bake until golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork, 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes. Serve for breakfast or make it a dessert with some vanilla ice cream! Notes Any kind of apple works here. Use your favorite! Feeling lazy and don’t want to peel the apples? That’s fine! They’re just as good. But the skin doesn’t get as tender, so a knife might be needed and not just a fork. 7-Up, Mountain Dew, or ginger beer can be used instead of Sprite. But do not eliminate this ingredient. You need the carbonation for these to turn out right. Need to feed a lot more people? No problem. Just double all the ingredients and bake in a 9x13 pan.
