Apple Dumplings

TwinTwo821's Note:

A co-worker brought this pastry recipe to work one morning during the holidays. It just melts in your mouth and the flavors are so wonderful. If she hadn't given me a copy of the recipe, I never would have guessed you use Mountain Dew. This will quickly become one of your favorites! February 2004, I just wanted to update this recipe. I've been using Splenda and Diet Sierra Mist in place of sugar and Mountain Dew. It still tastes the same.

Absolutely delicious! I only made half the recipe because it's just the 2 of us,but it is melt in your mouth yummy. I didn't change a thing. Next time I'll try it with low fat margerine because of DH.

Amazing recipe, I made it once following the recipe and it was good. Then a made them again with the apples tossed in cinnamon and sugar and also baked for 10 min before the sauce was pored on and they turned out so much better.

I can't believe I haven't rated this for as many times as I have made it!! This is absolutely delicious!! And SSOOOOOO easy its almost wrong lol The only thing I did differently than the recipe was to wrap the apple in the crescent rolls and pop them into the oven for a bit before adding the sauce they we're alot less soggy that way. Though they were delish soggy or not:) but if you want them to look pretty as well as taste great try baking them 5 or 10 mins first till they raise a bit, then pour the caramel sauce and pop over it. Thanks so much for sharing TwinTwo!! PS: Debbie I cut the sugar down and they turned out just as wonderful as the first time!!
