Apple Dumpling Bake
I received this recipe for baked apple dumplings with Mountain Dew from a friend of mine, then tweaked it to suit my family's tastes. The soda is definitely the secret ingredient in this rich apple dessert. —Chris Shields, Monrovia, Indiana

I have made this multiple times in the past 2 months. I don't sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar/butter like they do in the video. I put a spoonful on top of each one and press it down. That keeps the goodness directly on each dumpling. I just made four (8 cans of crescents) trays to give to our Fire Department - they sell chicken dinners and provide a dessert. They're going to LOVE THEM!
I made this EXACTLY a the recipe said and it was DELICIOUS! The full cup of sugar with the cinnamon and butter gave the rolls a sweet crunchy topping.
Very easy! They were delicious! I followed the advice of another review and did half a cup of sugar! I'll definitely be baking these again!
I have a similar recipe that uses canned biscuits and 7-up or Sprite. We like using the biscuits better (separating the layers into two pieces of biscuit). This dessert is delicious and always a conversation piece!
Fun recipe to make, very tasty and delicious!
This recipe is incorrect and the consistency of the topping wrong. Use 1 c. Butter melted and then stir in 2/3 c. Sugar and 1t cinnamon. Pour THAT on top of crescent rolls and then pour Mountain Dew around the sides. Just made this yesterday for company. Delicious!
These are so easy and fun to make, and they turned out very well. The Mountain Dew is a great conversation piece too - people find it hard to believe they are an ingredient in this dessert! Next time I will probably reduce the sugar a bit, since they were quite sweet made as is.
I made this wonderful dessert with golden delicious apples for church potluck and served with ice cream...out of this world! Golden delicious apples hold their shape when baked and are so, so good!
Made this last night, very good! I was very skeptical because the mix of butter, sugar, and cinnamon ( I also added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg) wasn’t a sprinkling consistentcy. Placed on top of dumplings by tablespoonful. Baked into a nice crunch! I also only used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup of sugar. Personal preference, Was perfectly sweetened and buttery. Will definitely make again and will try with even less butter. Thank you Chris
Great tasting, easy recipe. I've been making these apple dumplings for years and my family and friends love them!
