Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings are a classic and comforting dessert featuring tender apples wrapped in a flaky pastry and baked in a sweet syrup. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Dumplings:
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 can (12 ounces) lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
For Serving (optional):
- Vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cut each peeled and cored apple into 8 wedges. Set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place one apple wedge on the wide end of each triangle, then roll it up, starting with the wide end, and tuck the ends to seal. Place the dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the butter mixture over the dumplings in the baking dish.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda evenly over the dumplings and butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.
