Happy Thanksgiving week! I hope you have plans to share a big turkey with some wonderful people. We’re heading to my parent’s lake house tomorrow for a couple of days to celebrate the holiday.
If you’re looking for a last minute dessert idea, I’m here to help you out. Plus, this is one that the kids can help make as well.
A friend introduced us to this recipe last year and we love it.
Ingredients
- 1 Stick of Butter, melted
- 1 Cup Sugar (did I mention it was healthy, too?)
- 1 t. Cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1 t. Vanilla
- 2 Large Granny Smith Apples, peeled and cored
- 6 oz Mountain Dew
- 2 Cans Original Crescent Rolls (or Big N Flaky for fatter dumplings)
Mix melted butter with next 3 ingredients. Cut apples into eights. Roll each individual eighth into a crescent roll and place into a glass baking dish. Let them have a little room between them or they’ll be a little mushy on the bottom. The spoon butter mixture over each dumpling until empty. Pour mountain dew over the top.
Bake for about 25 min at 375 or until crescent rolls are done. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
These are always a hit when I make them. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
