While Apple Dumplings are the perfect fall dessert, they’re also great year-round. If you use Granny Smith apples, they’re tart and pair perfectly with the sweetness of the dumplings.

They’re easy to make, and they’re full of that warm apple flavor that we all love. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Either way, they’re sure to be a hit!

The recipe comes from Mississippi Church Suppers, a recipe collection by Great American Publishers. The cookbook has chapters devoted to appetizers, soups & salads, vegetables & side dishes, main dishes, and desserts & sweets – all of which would be great to take to a church potluck.

Let’s look at how easy it is to make this apple dumpling recipe.

🥘 Ingredients

To make this super simple apple dessert, you need the following ingredients:

  • 2 apples, Golden Delicious or Granny Smith, peeled and cored
  • 2 packages of crescent roll dough
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups 7-Up, or other lemon-lime soda (like Mountain Dew)

🔪How To Make Apple Dumplings

You begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Cut each apple into 8 slices. Roll each apple slice in 1 crescent roll and place in the buttered dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and then cook until it has thickened.

Remove the pan from the heat and pour the syrup over the dumplings. Pour the soda in the middle and along the edges of a pan (not over rolls).

⏲️ Baking Time

Bake the apple dumplings for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is optional.

FAQ

How long will these apple dumplings keep?

They’ll keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
