I've been making this recipe since I first learned when I was a kid. I always use brown sugar and I wisk in the cinnamon and a little nutmeg in with the brown sugar. This is really awesome with cinnamon ice cream or fresh whipped cream. GREAT white trash party offering. EDITED REVIEW: I made this the other day using reduced fat crescent roll, half the amount of butter, half the amount of brown sugar Splenda in place of the sugar and Diet Canada Dry. Even using the lower fat ingredients, this was still freaking awesome. I ate one portion, the boys literally ate the rest in 15 minutes. My husband even remarked that it's better than it usually is!

Wow - What a fabulous recipe! I mean a dessert just doesn't get any easier or any tastier than this! Definitely not for those counting calories...although I'm sure it could be lightened up a bit if you wanted to! I used half white sugar and half brown sugar, added 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg. I also had to sub Sprite for the Mountain Dew as I didn't have any on hand. These baked up beautifully and made the house smell wonderful. They were perfect with vanilla ice cream and a dollup of whipped cream and the side -YUM!

My husband has been making these for years...another recipe on this site called Country Apple Dumplings. Only difference is this one calls for vanilla extract, which he added any ways. Regardless, a family favourite. Yum

Delicious and so easy! I use 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar and diet Dew. Still wonderful. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Easy and good. Also I substituted carbonated water (berry flavor) for the soda, and it was plenty sweet.

We, especially grandkids loved this! 2nd time we cut sugar in half and used sprite. Just as good and better for us.

Every year we go to a nearby apple orchard and pick apples with our kids. We got a whole bushel of apples this year and after we got them home, we realized it was a lot more than it looked like at the orchard! I made these yesterday and they are soooo good! I have shared the recipe with my husband's Aunt and I am making some more for my husband AND my in-laws today!!

After our annual trip to the apple orchard today I made this recipe with the help of my mother, mother-in-law and husband. We all agreed that it deserves more than 5-stars for it taste and simplicity. Thank you for posting, Kathy!
