It's that time of year again- FALL! And that means apple season.
There are just so many great ways to use apples and my brain just starts buzzing with all the possibilities.
One of the first recipes that always comes to mind are these dumplins. Yes, I know it should be spelled with a "g" on the end but I always pronounce it as dumplins. So we're going with dumplins.
This recipe is just so easy and you only need one apple for 4 servings or two apples for 8 servings. And the crescent rolls take on a whole nutha flavor when combined with the cinnamon and butter. My husband just loves this because he loves apple desserts and I love it because it is easy peasy!
Ingredients:
1 Green Apple (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious)
1 tube (8 oz.) Crescent Rolls
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground Cinnamon (to taste)
1/2 cup lemon lime soda (Sprite or Mountain Dew work good)
 |
| (Vanilla extract not pictured) |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees
Peel and core apples. Cut apple into 8 slices.
Unroll tube of crescent rolls and separate into 8 pieces.
On each roll, sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon.
Add one apple slice.
Roll it up in a nice little bundle. Continue with next 7 rolls the same way.
Spray an 8-inch square pan with nonstick spray.
Place all 8 dumplins into baking dish.
Mix together melted butter with sugar and vanilla.
Pour butter mixture on top of crescent rolls.
Now take soda and pour it around the edges of the crescent rolls.
Sprinkle tops with a bit more cinnamon.
Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Cook's Notes: Just double the recipe and use a 13x9 pan for 8 servings. Also, if you haven't given this cinnamon a try, you really should if you get a chance. It goes by many names but it is cinnamon from Vietnam. It is sometimes called Vietnamese Cinnamon or Saigon Cinnamon. You can probably find it your major grocery store chains now. I found this at Walmart.
It has such a great concentrated cinnamon flavor and I am hooked on it now. I just love to use it to make homemade applesauce.
It really makes a big difference in taste.
Enjoy!

I can always count on you for a wonderful treat that doesn't involve spending all day in the kitchen. Great fall flavors in this one-well done.
You're right! You can't get much easier than this! These dumplins look great!
Oh yum!! I love how easy these sound. I would prolly have to make 15 batches though to get one since I am surrounded by piggy males :-D
I love apple dumplings. I just so happened to be reading this this morning and my Mom called to ask me what she should have for dessert this weekend when they had some friends over. I said...I have something RIGHT here!! So, she is making them!! Can't wait to try myself.
I got so excited that you made this and reminded me of it that I pinned it, stumbled it and then left without leaving a note so I had to come back. :)
Thank you SO much for sharing this! Someone brought it to our house for dessert once and I fell in love with it, but haven't thought of it since then. Now I can make it!
Have a great weekend, Brandie.
I made these pre-blogging days with Mountain Dew...so easy and fabulous!!! What a fun and delicious idea~
Oh I love these. Need to get some fresh apples and get baking!! Enjoy your weekend!
These look great and so easy!! I never would have thought to pour sprite in the baking dish!!
Oh yea! This is a favorite recipe that I share often. Thinkin' I'm gonna be makin' these dumplin's very soon. Thanks so much -
Just made these tonight, and holy crap are they good! Thanks for the recipe! :)
I've been such a slacker on visiting all my bloggie BFFs blogs! Love the sound of these simple, yet Im sure amazing dumplings!!!! Hope all is well Bran! : )
These look so good. I want to jump in my computer and eat them. Thanks for sharing with us.
It's breakfast time in the Sweet Sensations household and I would love to have a couple of these. Great recipe and Congratulations on Today's Top 9!

Wow! What an interesting recipe! I love apple dumplin[g]s. And I love how simple these are!
These sound absolutely delicious! Cinnamon, apples, pastry - what is not to love!
I make these all the time and they are a big hit always!! A little variation...I use peaches sometimes too and they are just as awesome!!!
Made these Dumplins for my husband on a Saturday and had to make more on Sunday, he loved them! Thanks for one of the easiest recipes ever!
Mary - thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how these turned out for you! So happy you loved them (and your hubby too!).
I made these and they were a hit!! I doubled the apples/crescents but I did not double the butter, sugar, vanilla & soda....and they turned out excellent. Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Ever since the kids saw The Apple Dumpling Gang, they've been wanting to try apple dumplings. These look so easy and delicious, I just might have to surprise them!
I saw something similar to this in a Taste of Home the other day. I tore it out and it's now residing in my "must cook" file. Thanks for sharing at Church Supper and the tip about the cinnamon!
Everyday Mom's Meals
Don't know how I missed this before but saw it over at Everyday Mom's Meals, Love it, too easy, I'll be making some this week!
Just had to come back and say, these are delicious! The kids request them at least once a week and since we eat twice off one recipe, we enjoy your apple dumplings for dessert with vanilla ice cream twice a week! YUM!
Just tried these and love them! I agree about the kind of cinnamon and just so you know, our local Costco carries a huge bottle of it so incredibly cheap compared to what you can buy in the grocery store and it lasts forever.
Tucson Mom - so happy you liked them! Good to know about it being carried at Costco. We don't have on here but we do have Sam's Club so I'll have to check there next time I go. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back & let me know how they turned out for ya. I really appreciate it!
These look wonderful, and I love the fact that they are so easy! I'm saving these to try some day.
These look amazing! One question....I know they're probably best warm, right out of the oven, but how about when they come to room temperature? I was thinking of making these for a spaghetti dinner at my daughter's school.
These tast just fine at room temperature. In fact, my husband always asks me to make extra so he can take some for lunch the next day. So he's usually eating them cold since they stay in his cooler. To me, they are best warm but he seems to enjoy the taste either way! :)
Made this tonight and it was delicious!!! Loved it!! My husband was a little skeptical but after he had his first bite - he said it was very good! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Hi Star! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how they turned out for you. I'm glad your hubby gave them a chance..lol!
I have a pot luck on Saturday and I am supposed to bring a dessert. I think I just figured out what I'm making.
Now I need two appetizers for the pot lucks on Saturday night and Sunday night...
