I really liked these dumplings! They were super easy and really good. Next time, I will probably use less butter in the sauce. But overall, they were a hit at my fall party.

At first I thought I did something wrong because I only read the good reviews and based on the overall rating thought it would be great. Way too much butter and sugar and the Mountain Dew made it taste processed. It came out very gooey on the bottom and just tasted "off". It sounded weird but I was willing to try. I was glad though about the idea to use the crescent rolls with the apples and I will make my own recipe from that. I would not have thought to do that so thanks for that idea.

Normally with all my substitutions I wouldn't rate a recipe. This turned out so good, I just had to say what I did that worked out anyways. I calculated this for 24 servings. Which meant 1 1/2 c. butter. I had no butter. I subbed about 1/3 c. of shortening and the rest was orange juice. Needed 2 1/4 c. white sugar, only had 1 3/4 c. So I added about 1 TBsp. molasses and 2 tsp. vanilla extract. I was afraid of it not being flavorful enough without the butter. I also tossed my apple slices in cinnamon and sugar before wrapping them in the dough. And finally, I used almost a whole can of Sierra Mist because my hubby drank the last Mountain Dew. My daughter did most all the prep herself. These came out SO GOOD!! Even with all the subbing...so I had to review. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

I made this recipe exactly as written and also using brown sugar (half recipe of 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, and vanilla). I preferred the version with brown sugar, thus only 4 stars since it's not the exact recipe. I think the brown sugar takes the extreme sweetness of the white sugar only version down a notch. But this recipe still rocked -- super easy to make and is ridiculously good for such little effort!!!

Just made these. They are phenomenal and could not be easier. I used low fat, store brand crescent rolls that I had on hand and used two 8x8 pans since I couldn't find my big one. Really awesome and the house smells great. Thanks for the recipe. :-)

Heavenly! I immediately wolfed down three of these and I usually don't eat dessert. I have to beat people back from the oven because it smells wonderful when its cooking. This recipe is now included in our football sunday menu. Thank you!

Okay, I was VERY skeptical that this could possibly be good, but had to try it because of all the great reviews. It was incredibly easy to put together(took about 5 minutes) and it was absolutely delicious!! My family raved about how good it was! This will be a regular last minute dessert at our house from now on. I think I will sprinkle it with chopped pecans next time for a little crunch.

I made this dish both ways, sugar free using Splenda and Diet Mountain Dew and the full on sugared version. I prefer the sugar free version as the other seemed almost too sweet for my taste, but my husband and friends LOVED it both ways! Next time I make the sugared recipe, I'll decrease the amount of sugar I use. It was really easy to make and quite inexpensive. This is a keeper! Thanks for posting it!

Oh, boy. These are ridiculously good. I would eat them all the time if I didn't know how fattening they are! I used only brown sugar because that's all I had in the house--will stick to that in the future because it was delicious. A little too sweet for my taste, so I'll cut back next time, but I have to say that these are wonderful. I'm going to experiment a bit to see if I can reduce the overall fat and remove the trans fats somehow (those crescent rolls are loaded).

If there were only the option of 10 stars this recipe would get them from me. I made these last night. Absolutely delicious. I a few to work and everyone was fighting over getting the last one. I had to promise to make them again next week. The only thing I would change is to reduce the butter to 1 stick and add a little more cinnamon. Other than that, they are perfect as written. Thanks docswife for this great recipe.

I made this using Splenda and I had to make my own crescent dough, but it was worth it because they were delicious! My daughter and I really enjoyed them. My husband had some after dinner and he LOVED them. He asked where I bought them!! I didn't tell him I used Splenda until he ate them and he said he could eat them every day---huge compliment to the submitter of the recipe.
