Apple Dumplings I

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, core, and slice the two large Granny Smith apples into thin slices.

In a small bowl, combine 1½ cups sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon, stirring until evenly mixed.

Unroll the crescent rolls from both cans and separate them into individual triangles, laying them out on a clean work surface.

Place 2-3 apple slices in the center of each crescent roll triangle, then sprinkle each with approximately ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Roll up each crescent around the apple filling, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides, then place seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over all the dumplings in the dish.

Drizzle the 2 cups of melted butter over the dumplings and cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Pour the entire can of Mountain Dew around the dumplings in the baking dish, distributing it as evenly as possible.

Bake for 50 minutes at 350°F until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the syrup is bubbling around the edges.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving, spooning the warm syrup from the bottom of the dish over each dumpling.
