  • Crescent Roll Dough: 1 can (8 rolls)
  • Butter: 1/2 cup, unsalted
  • Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup, packed
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
  • Lemon-Lime Soda: 1 cup (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
  • Kosher Salt: Pinch
  • Lemon Juice (optional): To prevent apple slices from browning

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13” x 9” baking dish with butter.
  • Prepare Apples
    • Peel, core, and slice the apples into eighths.
    • Toss slices with lemon juice if desired.
  • Assemble Dumplings
    • Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles.
    • Place an apple slice on the wide end of each triangle and roll snugly.
    • Arrange dumplings in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between them.
  • Make Caramel Sauce
    • In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
    • Heat on medium, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour and Add Soda
    • Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the dumplings.
    • Pour lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish, avoiding direct contact with the dumplings.
  • Bake
    • Bake for 30 minutes, or until dumplings are golden and the sauce bubbles.
  • Serve
    • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and extra sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

  • Swap apples for peaches or pears for a variation.
  • Add nutmeg or allspice for a spiced version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
