Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven: Heat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done prepping.
-
-
Prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is well combined and the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
Prepare the apples: While the syrup is cooking, peel, quarter, and core the apples. This ensures they’re ready to be wrapped in the next step.
-
Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate each triangle. Gently stretch each triangle to make it slightly larger, making it easier to wrap around the apple quarters.
-
Wrap the apples: Take each apple quarter and wrap it with one of the stretched crescent roll triangles. Make sure the apple is fully covered by the dough.
-
Arrange in a baking dish: Place the wrapped apple quarters in a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
-
Pour the syrup: Once the syrup mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and carefully pour it over the apple dumplings in the baking dish. Ensure that each dumpling gets coated with the syrup.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the apple dumplings from the oven. Serve them warm with a generous scoop of ice cream on top for a decadent treat. Alternatively, if you prefer, serve with a glass of cold milk for a comforting touch.
-
Enjoy: Indulge in the delightful combination of warm, tender apples and flaky pastry, complemented by the sweet syrup and creamy ice cream. Share with friends and family for a memorable dessert experience!
