Apple Dumplings
I have a fit when I cannot find one of my recipes...so I am making sure I have them all at one sight, and this is one of my favorite ones...
APPLE DUMPLINGS
1 CAN CRESCENT ROLLS
2 GRANNY SMITH APPLES
Quarter apples and microwave them for at
least two minutes
WRAP APPLES IN CRESCENT ROLLS
pUT IN BAKING DISH
MIX TOGETHER 1 1/2 CUPS SUGAR
1 STICK OF BUTTER, MELTED
2 TABLESPOONS CORNSTARCH
MIX AND SPREAD ON TOP OF APPLES
POUR ONE 12 OUNCE CAN OF MOUNTAIN DEW ON TOP.
BAKE 45 MINUTES IN 350 DEGREE OVEN.
THESE ARE WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFULLY BROWN
WITH A WONDERFUL THICK SAUCE WHEN DONE
YOU CAN USE PART BROWN SUGAR AND WHITE
SUGAR IF YOU WISH, AND ADD SOME CINNAMON
TO ENHANCE THE FLAVOR INSTEAD OF ALL
WHITE SUGAR.
I use 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar
and add cinnamon to taste.
I do not microwave the apples, as they cook
while they are baking.
When you wrap the cresent roll dough around the
apples, keep the side with the most dough “up”
in your baking dish. I use a 9 x 13 glass dish
sprayed with Pam.

Two 8-ounce packages of Cream Cheese at room temperature
