EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS

In my opinion, any time of year is a good time for apple recipes. Not just fall! 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 dumplings.Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings

CAN I USE PEACHES INSTEAD OF APPLES?

Absolutely! Peaches work perfect in this dessert. 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! Just double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan for 8 servings.Easy Apple Dumplings recipe from The Country Cook

    Hi Brandi, Love your weekly recipes! Made Apples Dumplings, awesome and so easy, used orange juice instead of soda. Thanks for a great recipe. Margaret

      Hi Margo – I am not a soda drinker either but you barely get any with each serving. It helps to transform the flavor of the crescent rolls. I wouldn’t use water as it will make the rolls soggy. You could maybe use apple juice. 🙂

    The first recipe calls for 3/4 cup of lemon lime soda. The recipe following all the pictures calls for 1/2 cup lemon lime soda. Which is correct? Thank You.

    My husband likes the caramel apple empanadas from Taco Bell. I think a little drizzle of caramel ice cream topping would pretty much do the trick! Thanks!
