Apple Dumplings ~ Delicious Dessert

I had this at my sewing holiday party. It was SO yummy, and evidently easy to make...my 2 requirements for getting it on this blog. I'm trying to not over-do it this holiday season, and this really put my will-power to the test. SO GOOD--I can't wait to try it again! Thanks Lisa for the recipe!

ingredients:

2 sticks of butter

2 pkg. crescent rolls (8 rolls each)

4 granny smith apples, pealed, cored & thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 tsp. cinnamon

salt, pinch

1 can Sprite or 7-Up

directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Melt butter and put on the bottom of a 9x13" pan.

3. Wrap apple slices (about 1/4 apple) in a crescent roll and place seam side down in the melted butter. Repeat, using all 16 crescent rolls.

4. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar and salt (you can mix these together prior, or just sprinkle each over top). Pour the can of soda all over the dumplings.

5. Bake for 45 minutes.

*I can imagine that these would cook nicely and be delicious in a Dutch Oven!
