Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings

Ingredients:

• 2 (8 each) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 sticks of butter
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
• 12 ounces 7 Up (or Mountain Dew)
• 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9×13 baking dish. Wash the apples, peel and cut into eight equal slices. Unwrap the crescent roll and separate the triangles. Place a piece of apple on each triangle of dough (on a wider side) and roll it in a croissant. Place rolls inside buttered baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the butter, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla, mix until you get a liquid mixture without lumps and pour over the rolls. Pour soda between rolls (but not over) and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until they become golden brown. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
