Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings
A cozy and comforting dessert, Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings are made with tart apples wrapped in crescent dough, coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar sauce, and baked to perfection with a touch of 7-Up for a sweet, bubbly finish. Perfect on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients
- 1 large apple Fuji or other tart apples work well
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup 7-Up (or equivalent) about half a can
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Peel and slice the apple into 8-10 wedges. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Open the can of crescent dough and separate into triangles. Wrap each apple wedge with a dough triangle and place them in the greased baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Whisk constantly until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the wrapped apple dumplings. Pour the 7-Up around the edges of the baking dish.
- Bake the dumplings for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. The dough should puff up and the apples will become tender.
- Let the dumplings cool slightly before serving. They are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For extra indulgence, drizzle caramel sauce over the dumplings before serving or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
