Recipe of the Week: Easy Country Apple Dumplings

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brandeis chapter.

As the weather cools down and crop-tops turn to fuzzy sweaters, it’s also time to trade in your summer treats for some fall recipes.  A trademark of fall eating is pumpkin and apple flavored everything, and this recipe is no exception. Take a break from Sherman desserts and try your hand at your own confectionary creation with these deliciously doughy Country Apple Dumplings.

You will need:

  • 2 large Granny smith apples, peeled and cored.
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 2 cans (approx. 10oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 can Mountain Dew/Sprite soda

Directions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit  
  2. Grease a 9×13 in baking dish.
  3. Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside.
  4. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end.
  5. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.
  6. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings.
  7. Pour the soda over the dumplings.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes in the oven, or until golden brown.

Let cool for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
