Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) – peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 can crescent roll dough – for wrapping the apples
  • 1 cup Mountain Dew – soda gives a unique flavor
  • 1 cup sugar – for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – adds warmth and spice
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) – melted, for richness

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges.
  2. Preheat the Cooker: If using a slow cooker, set it to low heat. For an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Wrap the Apples: Take each apple slice and wrap it in a crescent roll dough triangle, pinching the seams to seal.
  4. Arrange in Cooker: Place the wrapped apples in the slow cooker or air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping too much for even cooking.
  5. Mix the Syrup: In a bowl, combine the Mountain Dew, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  6. Pour the Syrup: Carefully pour the syrup mixture over the dumplings, covering them well.
  7. Cook: For slow cooker, cook on low for 180 minutes; for air fryer, cook for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
