Mt. Dew Apple Dumplings

I got this recipe off YT. I tried it tonight and it was VERY good!

MT. DEW APPLE DUMPLINGS

2 packages crescent rolls

2 large apples, peeled and cut into 8 wedges (16 wedges total)

Roll apples in crescent rolls and put in 9x11 or 9x13 pan (Spray or butter pan)

In saucepan put:

1 ½ cups sugar

2 sticks butter

1 tsp. cinnamon

Heat to dissolve sugar -- DO NOT BOIL - (I melt the butter first before adding sugar and cinnamon)

Pour over dumplings in pan.

Then take 12 oz. Mt. Dew and pour it between rows of rolls (Do not pour over them)

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min.


I only made 1/2 of the recipe and I used Splenda instead of sugar. The butter splenda mix looked kinda funky in the pan when I melted the butter and then put in the splenda. But it cooked in the oven just fine and the dumplings were definitely sweet enough. I did use full sugar Mountain Dew (only 6 ounces) - but next time I'll use Diet Mt. Dew as I think it would be just fine. I also used the lower fat cresent rolls. The dumplings were really good. Gary really liked them and so did I.

They sound very nice, i think though when i come to making them i will have to ask for translations - some of the ingrediants i didnt recognise, they must just be called something else over in England.

I have just made some fruit scones, they are very nice warmed with butter and jam and if your feeling naughty - clotted cream, yum yum yum.

I have to say though i do like to eat deserts, i am much more a savory person if i had to have i choice it would not be the sweet trolley for me....

ha ha - she said after just eating a clotted cream scone with strawberry jam - ha ha

I LOVE cranberry scones! But I don't eat them with jam, so maybe they are slightly different over here! I just eat them plain.

Hiya

Yes i will ask when i come round to making the dumplings. The scones i make are with sultanas, but i have often made cherry ones and they too are yummy, or for a savory taste you can add cheese as an alternative to the sweet variety.
