Servings: 8 dumplings
Calories: 275kcal
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 5 tbsp salted butter
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp Fireball whiskey
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Peel & core the apple after washing. Then slice into 8 even slices.
Pop open the crescent roll dough, and separate them into 8 individual slices working along the perforation lines.
Grease a 9x9 or 9x13" baking dish evenly with non stick cooking spray, and set aside.
Working with one dough piece at a time, wrap it around a single apple slice. Place it in the prepared baking dish, and continue until all the dumplings are wrapped and in the dish.
In a skillet, add the 5 tbsp of butter, water, and both sugars. Heat the mixture over medium high heat, stirring gently until the butter's melted & the sugar's dissolved.
Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in the whiskey until combined. Pour this evenly out over the dumplings in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and remaining sugar until combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly out over the dumplings.
Bake the dumplings at 350° for 35-40 minutes.
Serve the dumplings warm, spooning the sauce over top, with vanilla ice cream- if desired.
- Make sure to use a Granny Smith apple. If you can't find them, go for another tart, firm apple for this recipe.
- This is extra delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- When you heat the butter and sugar mixture, make sure to keep stirring while it heats. This will keep the sugar from scorching.
