Perfect for a cozy dessert, these dumplings are not only delicious but also incredibly simple to prepare.

Ingredients:
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
-
Prepare the Apples: Wrap each quartered apple piece with a crescent roll, ensuring the dough covers the apple completely.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cinnamon, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Assemble and Bake: Place the wrapped apple dumplings in the greased baking dish. Pour the hot sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
-
Baste the Dumplings: Spoon the bubbling sauce over the dumplings occasionally while baking to ensure they stay moist and flavorful.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These apple dumplings are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
