Absolutely amazing recipe. I read most of the reviews and thought the recipe couldn’t live up to the hype but I was wrong. Easy and delicious! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and even the most critical guest will be raving. Thank you docswife.

One more thumbs-up review from me. And I agree with other posters; you can probably cut down on the amount of sugar/butter in the future with equally good results. Ultimately, all of the butter/sugar/soda mixture ends up in the pan and really just becomes a sauce that you can choose to serve with it or not. These were suprisingly light and very good. Great textures, flavors, and it seems to be a very forgiving recipe as well.

These are amazing. Of course, what wouldn't be amazing with a cup of butter? I suspect that you could cut down on the butter and sugar in this recipe and still get a great result. I will try that next time. I also used 7-up instead of mountain dew and I believe it didn't change the outcome of the recipe. This will be my go to recipe for apple dumplings from now on, without a doubt!

These dumplings are fabulous! I have made them twice this weekend. I can't get enough. The first time I couldn't find Mountain Dew so I used 7up and they were just as tasty. Love them!

Made this for the first time this evening and the hub and I both really liked it. I followed some of the suggestions and used reduced fat crescent rolls, 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar. I also used a Jonagold instead of a Granny Smith apple. Next time I might cut the apples into 4ths rather than 8ths. We'll see... Either way they're really yummy and VERY simple to make.

I too changed up the recipe a little bit. There are only two of us so I made 4 dumplings. First of all, I had some pie crust dough left over so I used that, which we liked much better because it was flaky instead of doughy. I also used half stick of butter, 1/4 cup splenda for baking and 1/4 cup brown sugar. I also used sweeter apples which we also liked better. Like another reviewer, I mixed everything together, including the soda (I used sprite) and poured it over the dumplings. YUM!

I made a double recipe of this for a dinner at our church and everyone was asking for the recipe! In half the dumplings I put a small amount of cream cheese (I used about 4oz of cream cheese spread out in 16 dumplings) and they was also a hit.

I have never seen a recipe of the day get over 2 pages of reviews in 1 day, so I knew I had to try the recipe. Like most I added brown sugar. When I first put them in the pan I was worried that I had done something wrong. The only thing that I did wrong was not trying this sooner. I would give it more stars if I could. This is a keeper for sure.

I usually don't go for recipes that involve pre-made ingredients (like the dough & soda) but these are amazing. Every time I make these people go crazy for them and ask for the recipe.

I served this wonderful dessert along with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. My husband took a bite and said, "WOW..This is the best dessert you've made in a long time!" This recipe is a keeper!

Very good. Easy to make with the children. I mixed the Mountain dew into the sugar and butter. Worked great sauce thickened up as it cooked. All around delicious. Will make again.

I really enjoyed the flavor of this recipe. The top was nice and crispy and the inside wonderfully warm. It was a little too much dough for the amount of apple used. My biggest disappointment was the bottom. I expected gooey but the bottom was slippery and disgusting...almost as if they dough was only slightly cooked. I've considered trying again and actually cooking them for 10 minutes or so BEFORE pouring the mixture over it. Maybe using a little less liquid as well. If I do attempt this I'll edit my review.

Based on the previous reviews and ratings, I thought this was going to be the very best. But deep down, I knew the recipe just didn't sound right. I made this recipe exactly as written. I was right...this is too good to be true. There is way too much dough wrapped around the small amount of apple. And, the citrus flavor of the soda is overwhelming. And, it's expensive and so not worth it. I'll stick with the old fashioned method.
