The mountain dew seems like such a strange addition, and to be honest I have no idea what it adds to the dish. However, I wouldn't dare leave it out because I'm confident it has something to do with the yum-factor! I actually used half of the amount of butter and sugar that the recipe on allrecipes.com and it was still sweet and had plenty of "sauce". If you're looking for an easy, fall-flavored dessert that people will love, you must try this!
Ingredients:
-2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
-2 large Granny Smith apples-peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges each
-1/2 cup butter, melted
-1/2 cup white sugar
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-12 oz. Mountain Dew
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 16 pieces.
3. Roll each apple wedge into a triangle of dough, beginning at the point of the triangle and rolling towards the long edge.
4. Place each wrapped apple into a 9 x 13 pan.
5. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in sugars until melted and slightly thickened. Add cinnamon. Spoon the mixture over each of the dumplings.
6. Pour the entire can/bottle of mountain dew over the pan contents.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
8. Serve with vanilla ice cream (definitely key!!)
