Description

Apple Dumpling Bliss is a cozy family favorite dessert featuring tender apple wedges wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, baked to golden perfection, and smothered in a sweet buttery sauce with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This comforting dessert combines the tartness of Granny Smith apples with a luscious syrupy glaze, making it perfect for gatherings or a warm treat on chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dumplings

  • 2 Granny Smith apples (or any tart variety)
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls (or puff pastry)

For the Sweet Sauce

  • 1 cup butter (or vegan butter)
  • 1.5 cups sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup Sprite or 7UP (or ginger ale)
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking the apple dumplings.
  2. Prepare the apples. Peel and core the apples, then cut each apple into 4 wedges to create the filling for the dumplings.
  3. Assemble the dumplings. Unroll the crescent rolls onto a clean surface forming triangles. Place one apple wedge on the wide end of each triangle, then roll tightly and pinch to seal the edges. Arrange the rolled dumplings in a 9×13 inch baking dish evenly.
  4. Make the sweet sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a smooth sweet sauce.
  5. Add the sauce to dumplings. Pour the sweet buttery mixture evenly over the arranged dumplings in the baking dish, ensuring they are well-coated.
  6. Add fizzy liquid and nutmeg. Carefully pour the Sprite (or 7UP/ginger ale) around the edges of the baking dish, avoiding pouring it directly over the dumplings to keep the sauce on top intact. Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg evenly over the dumplings.
  7. Bake. Bake the dumplings in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples inside are tender.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
  • You may substitute crescent rolls with puff pastry for a flakier crust.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based butter and coconut sugar instead of traditional butter and white sugar.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
  • Ensure to pour the soda around the edges so it doesn’t disrupt the sugar sauce on top.
