Ingredients
Dumplings
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (20 oz) can apple pie filling
Butter Sugar Topping
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can lemon-lime soda
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Shape the dumplings: Unpack the crescent rolls and separate them into the pre-cut triangles. Scoop a spoonful of apple pie filling into the widest part of each triangle, then roll them up by starting at the bottom tip and rolling away from you to fully seal the apple inside the dough pocket.
- Arrange rolls: Place each apple-stuffed crescent roll seam-side down into the prepared baking dish, repeating until all dough and filling are used.
- Create the butter sugar topping: In a separate bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter and brown sugar using a spoon or mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add topping and soda: Dollop about a teaspoon of the butter and brown sugar mixture over each crescent roll. Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda into the spaces between the rolls in the baking dish, avoiding pouring it directly over the rolls to keep the topping intact.
- Bake the dumplings: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, ideally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with the brown sugar.
- Do not pour the lemon-lime soda directly on top of the dumplings to maintain the buttery sugar topping.
- Use any variety of apple pie filling, but classic cinnamon-spiced filling gives the best flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute crescent rolls with a gluten-free crescent dough alternative.
- These dumplings are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven before serving.
