Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter. This is crucial to prevent those delightful dumplings from sticking.
Peel and core the apples, then slice each apple into 8 wedges. You want these nice and uniform for even baking.
Roll each wedge of apple in a crescent roll triangle. Place them in your prepped baking dish. This part is where the magic begins!
In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the sugar. Stir gently, add the vanilla extract, then pour this mixture over the apple dumplings.
Pour the Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan, not over the dumplings. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until golden.
