Smoky Mountain Dew Dumplins

Have y'all tried this yet? It's so simple, delicious, and pretty. My friend Sheila Vest from Centerville TN shared this recipe. Not only is Sheila a great cook, the host of KiX 96.7 The Best with Sheila Vest, she also just celebrated her wedding anniversary with the love of her life, Tommy.

Smoky Mountain Dew Dumplins

2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

2 (10-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup butter

1-1/3 cups white sugar

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 (12- ounce) can Mountain Dew ™

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish. Melt butter in a small saucepan and lightly mix in the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. You definitely want the mixture lumpy and grainy. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour Mountain Dew™ over the dumpling, making sure that they are all coated. Lightly dust the top with a little extra cinnamon. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream. Sheila Vest, Centerville TN
