Savor the Sweetness of Home-Baked Delight in Every Bite!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
- 3/4 cup 7-Up or equivalent soda
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 large apple Fuji or any tart variety, peeled and cut into 8-10 wedges

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Peel and cut the apple into 8-10 wedges. Pat the wedges dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Separate the crescent dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in the dough, starting from the wide end, and pinch the edges to seal. Place the wrapped apple wedges in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the crescent-wrapped apple wedges. Then, pour the 7-Up around the edges of the dish, avoiding pouring directly over the dumplings.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
7. Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
