Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and quartered
  • 1½ cups orange juice
  • ¾ cup brown sugar *white sugar optional
  • 1⁄2 cup butter
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 (8 count) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Wrap each apple piece with a piece of crescent roll.
  3. Place in a greased 8" x 8" baking dish.
  4. Bring orange juice, sugar, butter and cinnamon to a boil and pour over apples dumplings.
  5. Bake until brown, approximately 30 minutes.
  6. Spoon juice over dumplings when you take them from the oven and again individually before serving.
Notes
*Can use brown or white sugar. The brown sugar creates a caramel syrup while the white sugar creates a simple syrup with citrus flavor.
Also - this recipe creates slightly more syrup than other recipes I found. I increased the syrup because we love being able to pour over the dumpling just before eating!
