Ready for the best mock apple pie recipe? This Mountain Dew apple dumpling recipe uses a can of soda for a gooey, delicious apple dessert you’ll love!

When my friend Jenny–who you may remember from this amazing fish recipe–first shared this funny little recipe with me a few years ago, I literally laughed out loud. It just sounded so crazy! I mean, seriously…..Mountain Dew? In a baked dish? I thought she was joking.

Until, of course, I tasted it.

That’s when I begged her for the recipe. Luckily for me and for all of you, she was happy to share.

Of course I do feel the need to start with a word of caution for those of you, who despite the name “Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings,” were expecting some sort of whole-food-clean-eating-organic-gluten-free-or-otherwise-healthy dessert. It is not healthy in any way. It is full of preservatives and white sugar and probably even some high-fructose-corn-syrup. If this bothers you, just click away now! For the rest of you, keep reading. This is one quick & easy recipe you will want to whip up again and again!

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings

Assemble the ingredient for these Mtn. Dew dumplings: sugar, butter, apples, cinnamon, crescent rolls and Mtn. Dew

Here is what you need:

2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2 baking apples, such as Gala, McIntosh, or Granny Smith
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick of butter, melted
cinnamon
6 ounces Mountain Dew soda
cooking spray
 

Peel and core apples, by hand or using an apple corer like this one.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and core apples, then slice into 8 wedges each, or use an apple peeler-corer-slicer to do it.

Lay out the Crescent Roll dough on a flat surface like a counter top.

Step 2: Spray 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Unroll crescent rolls.

Roll each crescent around a slice of apple.

Step 3: Wrap 1 apple wedge in crescent roll, then pinch seams together to cover apple completely. Place in dish; repeat with remaining apple wedges.

Cover the crescents with butter and sugar mixture.

Step 4:  Mix together melted butter & sugar, then liberally crumble sugar mixture over top of crescent rolls. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Pour a can of Mtn. Dew soda over the top of the crescent rolls.

Step 5:  Pour Mountain Dew over crescent rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, until rolls are golden brown. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
