I have one of the few husbands around that does not really care for apple pie. When he tasted these dumplings, he became an apple lover. Said I can make these anytime. Since he is diabetic, I did use both white and brown sugar Splenda. Will try diet 7-Up next time to cut sugar further. Added a little apple pie spice and nutmeg to the syrup. Scattered chopped pecans on top and think I will put these in the syrup next time. Give it five stars from my husband and me!!

Thanks god for Mountain dew, But I did add tsp. of vanilla a nd 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg, And sliced some apples on top. Boy was I in heaven with some ice cream.

Husband of 63 yrs. says it is the best dessert I have ever made.

I have a similar recipe, but with a few critical changes: First, I use whole apples, and I find that Jonathon or Macintosh work better...actually, if you can find them, Paula reds are the best! I peel the apples, slice in half & core. I also use the bigger crescent rolls, or if I can't find those, will use 1 1/2 rolls per apple, placing 2 halves in each roll. I use an equal combination of white and brown sugar, double the cinnamon, and 1 tsp of vanilla. After pouring the Mountain Dew over the apples, I sprinkle each apple with some red-hot candies (little cinnamon candies found in the baking section of your grocery store), and sprinkle a little in the pan as well. after baking, I sprinkle the tops with a little dusting of powdered sugar. I get rave reviews from friends & family, and am always asked to bring these to potlucks!

Ohmygosh! I made these yesterday & they are heavenly! I also did as one of the other reviewers suggested & poured the Mt Dew around the dumplings, butter/sugar mixture over top. I also used a mixture of half brown, half white sugar & added 2 tsp of pure vanilla. Who knew....me non-soda drinker would LOVE something so much made with Mt Dew!

Who knew Mountain Dew would taste so good in a dessert! I made this for a group of friends over the weekend and everyone cleaned their plates! I followed the recipe exactly, with the only minor exception being that I poured the Mountain Dew in first AROUND the dumplings and then poured the butter/cinnamon sugar on top (as suggested by another reviewer). Perfect results! This one is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing =)

I have made this a few times and it is absolutely fabulous!!

These smelled so good when they came out of the oven! I was hoping they would taste just like they smelled. They tasted BETTER! I was afraid my dough-phobic husband wouldn't like them. Unlike me, he doesn't like anything doughy and with all the liquid, I was afraid he may not like these. My husband thinks this is the best dessert I've ever made! Yippee! I found a gold mine! And it was so easy...

Made these last night and they were the hit of dinner. People could not get enough. Thanks for a great recipe

Made 1 1/2 recipes of this in a larger dish & it was GREAT. I added 1 Tbl of cinnamon to it - everything else was the same. AWESOME. Also - if you have the time, I think the 'sauce' stands up better if they're baked the night before, put in the fridge & then reheated (300 degrees for 30 minutes or so) the next morning. The sauce has time to soak up into the dumplings & it's HEAVEN. Also - I poured the Mtn Dew in FIRST and then put the cinnamon mixture over it. That left as much ooey gooey topping up there as possible - YUM.

Yummy, easy dessert! Great served with whipped cream.

SO good! I love this recipe. Have made it several times, and have turned family and co-workeres on to this and they all love it also.

These were so good I am left craving more.

Absolutely wonderful. We served this with a premium vanilla ice cream drizzled with a little caramel sauce.

The best!! i'm still licking my fingers....

I made these the other day and they were divine! I made a few changes: I used 2 tsp of cinnammon, 1 1/2 cups of butter, and Sprite instead of Mt. Dew. I think it's important to mention that these taste way better if you pour the soda to the sides of the dumplings, not directly on them. This allows the cinnammon mixture to form a nice crust on top of the dumplings, otherwise I think they might come out soggy. These are best served hot and with vanilla ice cream. Yum!!

This was yummy! I was a little skeptical when there seemed to be alot of liquid but the baking takes care of some of it and the rest will thicken after it cools. I cut the sugar back some and left 1/4 of mt dew in the can. I think I could have used all of it but the amount of liquid at first really scared me. Will make again but I bet it would taste even better with homemade crescents. Ofcourse I'll be trying it with a recipe from here. :)

THIS RECIPE IS SO EASY AND SO GOOD. I VE MADE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS A HIT EVERY TIME.. NO CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE TO THIS RECIPE IT IS PERFECT!!! IF U HAVENT TRIED THIS YET U NEED TO..

Very easy and nummy. I already had the pre-sliced apples...didn't have Mt. Dew so used 7up. Cut recipe in half but we could have easily ate more! Good recipe for the kids to make to help out!

This is fantastic. The only changes I made was to use Splenda - both white and brown - instead of sugar and diet 7-Up because my husband is a diabetic. As others suggested cooked the butter/sugar mixture until it slightly thickened and sprinkled the apples with cinnamon before wrapping them. Oh, also sprinkled chopped pecans to the top before baking. Thanks for such an easy delicious recipe.
