Apple Dumplings
I think I was the last person in the world to hear about the Pioneer woman and her cooking. She is hilarious. Check her link out on the right. One of her top recipes are these Apple Dumplings.
John loves apple desserts and loves Mountain Dew. Together = HEAVEN! This is definitely not for those on a diet. You might gain 10 pounds just from looking at the recipe.

Hi. Excuse my ignorance, but what is a crescent roll?
It’s a refrigerated dough that is flaky.
nobody ever uses crecent rolls to make anything . you should be ???/
shame on you .
silverbill.. are you mr. food now ?
I’ve been making this for several months now. My family absolutely loves it! They even began calling it “apple crack” because they were unable to resist it! Recently my 2 1/2 yr. old grandson has been baking with me and when he gleefully told his dad “Me and Nana made you crack” we decided we better get used to calling it Apple dumplings again! Thanks for such a great recipe. (Though I did find the only “small” can of mountain dew I was able to find was a 12 oz can, and that proved to be too much, so I have lessened that amount.)
I tried a similar recipe but instead of Mountain Dew, it called for Sprite.
I clicked on this looking for some old german recipes. Mountain dew is about 40 years younger than me.
I must be ancient.
I am a diabetic and have something similar to this that is diabetic friendly. Substitute Splenda for the sugar and sugar free mountain dew for the regular dew. It is very good but not as sweet. Still have to practice portion control. lol Serve with sugar free ice cream. This is a quick and easy dessert.
I made them. Husband loved them. For me, too much sugar. Can I use brown sugar?
Sure. They are super sweet. You could probably cut back a little on that.
svPpeX Looking forward to reading more. Great article post.Thanks Again. Keep writing.
I was too tickled to see this recipe. I have been making it for nearly two decades — always a ‘go to’ when needing a quick comforting sweet fix and always a crowd pleaser. It has become my signature dessert whenever we hit the mountains for some relaxation. I guess most do eat it with ice cream. I prefer to pour a little heavy cream around mine though.
Christy, I love it! Thanks so much for sharing your fun recipes. I can’t wait to try them out.
Those look DElicious. Keep bringing on the recipes, these are great!
I remember you talking about these this summer….maybe we’ll have to make ’em when you guys are in Denver for the Dolphins/Broncos game! When are you guys going to be there by the way?
YAY I am so excited for your recipes!! You need to post Ghetto Dip. I swear I have made that 100 times since we went to visit you.
oh I love her too. she is hilarious. if you get a chance read all her black heels and tractor wheels story, I laughed so hard. she is a great storyteller it is about how her and her husband met. anyways. the dumpling are so yummy too. we tried those also. take care!
Yum, looks good! Too bad I am on a diet! sigh…
