I just made this tonite for our dessert after supper, My husband said that he liked these better then the ones that I bought 2 weeks ago (Fundraisor), and thay are not hard to do very easy recipe, but I do have to say I didnt add the orange juice that it calls for only beacuse I didnt have any, and they where very good. Its a keeper =) =) =)

This was the best, the fastest and the easiest recipe ever. Can't wait till my family comes over cause I will be making this again. The kids will love it. I didn't change anything, but I did throw in some chopped walnuts. Had some whipped cream but the Vanilla Ice Cream will be next. YUMMY !

Definitely a 5 star recipe. Had raves about these dumplings and they were so easy to make. I made the recipe as is and found it a bit sweet. That's simple to fix. I had extra apple pieces so I just added them around the dumplings. That was a plus. Took the advice of another reviewer and covered the dish for the last half of the cooking time. A recipe that is so easy and receives such great compliments is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing it.

Delicious! Very rich (maybe a bit much for me, I think I'll cut back on the sugar a little next time.) I did use apple juice in place of orange juice because that's what I happened to have in the fridge. Very simple to make, and I agree with the reviewer who said to cover it halfway through baking. But they were tender, soft, and tasty for sure.

I made this with a can of peaches in light syrup instead of apples and orange juice. I used one or two slices of peach per roll, depending on the size of the peach slices. I used the leftover juice from the can, which ended up to be about 1/2 a cup of juice, and used cranberry juice to fill to the rest of the 3/4. This was fantastic, and made my house smell delicious! Will definately make again!!

This is really good. I may use less OJ next time because it makes a LOT of sauce. Great with some vanilla ice cream.

This recipe was perfect as is, only thing I did different was divide each apple into 8 slices, instead of 4. I made two pans and they were gone before they cooled! If you like apple pie, you'll love this!

I'm an indifferent baker but I had extra granny smith apples I needed to use. This was amazing! I've never had apple dumplings before, so I'm not sure what other ones taste like. Also, many people complained about the strong taste of the orange juice, I found the orange flavor very pleasant and not overpowering at all. Will DEFINITELY make again.

These are the best apple dumplings that I have ever made. And so simple, I never thought of crescent rolls. They were divine! Made these as an extra Thanksgiving dessert since my family ususally eats 1 piece of pumpkin pie. This was a big hit, especially with French Vanilla ice cream!!

So Good!! I used cider in place of OJ since I didn't have it. Next time I will try it with OJ and see if it taste as good with 1/2 the butter. If it needs all the butter, so be it. It's worth the calories!

This was pretty good. Very different flavor from ordinary apple dumplings due to the orange juice. We did add a little extra sugar and lots of extra cinnamon, and covered the dumplings for the last seven minutes.

Though they were easy to make, they were really boring. The second time I made them I added spread butter on the dough, a pinch of cinnamon, a few raisins and a couple walnuts THEN the apple piece. My family still didn't care for them much.

Super easy dessert that's quite good! My husband, kids and mother in law seemed to really enjoy this. My apples weren't quite as tender as I would have liked after 30 minutes. Next time I would bake them a little longer- could just be my oven though. I halved the sauce and that was plenty. I served this with double churned reduced fat vanilla ice cream and it was still very rich tasting. The orange juice definitely gives the sauce an extra boost. I will definitely make these again.

Easy Easy Easy ... My guys rated this #1 ! Even my "I don't like apple dumplings" teen loved this one. It was really easy to make this and I needed to use up some crescent rolls. I doubled the apples and crescent rolls, used a large casserole dish and followed the sauce as directed (did not double it) this turned out very nice. My guys were impressed and really liked this one. The orange sauce really made this special. I still prefer my "old fashioned" apple dumplings but these were really good too.
