This is one of my most often requested recipes!  It's good as a pastry for breakfast or dessert for dinner served warm with ice cream. 

Ingredients

• 2 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup Mountain Dew soda
• Cinnamon sugar

Directions

Unroll crescent rolls and separate dough into 8 triangles, spread lightly with butter and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar.  Cut each apple into four wedges. Wrap a crescent dough triangle around each apple wedge. Place in a greased baking dish or small pie pan.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup butter; spread over rolls. Slowly pour the soda around the rolls (do not stir). Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.  Yield: 8 dumplings.
