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.
crescent rolls
salted butter
sugar
vanilla extract

lemon lime soda (Sprite or Mountain Dew)

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
Brandie says
Thanks Margaret-those apple dumplings are certainly easy and oh so good!
Margo Lopes says
Will sweetened lemon water due. We’re not soda drinkers. I’m going to experiment but these look delicious.
Brandie says
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. 🙂
Marie Czarnecki says
Margo, read one of the comment above, she used orange juice.
Vikki says
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.
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Hi Vikki, it is 3/4 cup. 🙂
Niecy says
This recipe has been around for awhile. I got recipe from a friend about 2005, They were called Apple Dew Bites then due to the use of Mt Dew. Wonderful and easy.

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!
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
I think that would be PERFECT!!
