Ingredients

  • 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
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
