Ingredients:
To make the dumplings:
2 big peeled and cored Granny Smith apples
2 (8-ounce) cans of dough for crescent rolls
2 sticks (1 cup) unseasoned butter
granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups
A tsp vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
To make the sauce:
granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups
1 cup of water
A half teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the apples as follows:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Each apple should be cut into 8 wedges. Place aside.
Make the Dumplings:
Starting at the wide end, roll each apple slice into a crescent roll dough triangle. Place the covered apples in a 913-inch baking dish that has been buttered.
Make the Sauce:
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Combine the sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the sauce on top:
In the baking dish, pour the sauce over the wrapped apple dumplings.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is boiling, in a preheated oven.
Make the Serving Sauce: Combine the ingredients for the serving sauce (sugar, water, and vanilla extract) in a separate saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to low heat for a few minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
Remove the apple dumplings from the oven when they are done. Serve warm, with the warm serving sauce poured over top.
