Apple Dumplings

This recipe is from the website: The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Several blogs I read had links to this website so I decided to check it out. It is one of my favorite sites now. The author posts recipes that have step-by-step picture instructions. Plus the recipes use ingredients I generally already have in the pantry. I've made a few of the recipes from the website, but this one is by far my favorite.

2 Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks butter
1-1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
cinnamon
1 12-oz. can Mountain Dew

Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9x13 buttered pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauce from the pan over the top.

Note: I use Pillsbury Big & Buttery Crescent Rolls.
