Ingredients:
- 2 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and cut into quarters
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the apples:
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters. You should have 8 apple pieces total.
-
Wrap the apples:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Place one apple quarter in the center of each dough triangle.
- Roll the dough around the apple, starting from the wide end, and pinch the edges to seal the dough around the apple.
-
Make the topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the dumplings in the baking dish.
-
Bake:
- Place the apple dumplings in a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the apples are tender.
-
Serve:
- Once the dumplings are done baking, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Different apples: Feel free to use any variety of apples you like! Tart apples like Granny Smith balance the sweetness of the sugar and cinnamon, while sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala add a more delicate flavor.
- Add some crunch: You can sprinkle some chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) over the dumplings before baking for added texture.
