Easy Apple Dumplins

 Ingredients:

1 Green Apple (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious)

1 tube (8 oz.) Crescent Rolls

1 stick unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ground Cinnamon (to taste)

1/2 cup lemon lime soda (Sprite or Mountain Dew work good)

(Vanilla extract not pictured)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees

Peel and core apples. Cut apple into 8 slices.

Unroll tube of crescent rolls and separate into 8 pieces.

 On each roll, sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon.

 Add one apple slice.

 Roll it up in a nice little bundle. Continue with next 7 rolls the same way.

Spray an 8-inch square pan with nonstick spray.

Place all 8 dumplins into baking dish.

 Mix together melted butter with sugar and vanilla.

Pour butter mixture on top of crescent rolls.

Now take soda and pour it around the edges of the crescent rolls.

Sprinkle tops with a bit more cinnamon.

Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes.

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Cook's Notes: Just double the recipe and use a 13x9 pan for 8 servings. Also, if you haven't given this cinnamon a try, you really should if you get a chance. It goes by many names but it is cinnamon from Vietnam. It is sometimes called Vietnamese Cinnamon or Saigon Cinnamon. You can probably find it your major grocery store chains now. I found this at Walmart. 

It has such a great concentrated cinnamon flavor and I am hooked on it now.
 I just love to use it to make homemade applesauce. 

It really makes a big difference in taste.

Enjoy!
