• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 can (12 oz) lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7-Up)

Instructions

1. Prepare the apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into wedges. Each apple should give about 8 slices.

2. Wrap with crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and place one apple wedge at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up gently, sealing the edges, and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the wrapped apple dumplings.

4. Add the soda: Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the baking dish (not directly over the dumplings). This helps create a bubbling, caramel-like sauce as it bakes.

5. Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is thick and bubbly.

6. Cool slightly and serve: Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the sauce from the bottom of the dish over each dumpling for extra sweetness.
