Some of you may already be familiar with how delicious these Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings are. Years ago, I saw this recipe on the Pioneer Woman’s website. Since the first bite, I’ve been addicted. If you haven’t tried this dish before, now is the time to do so! You will not be sorry…. Mountain Dew is called for in the original recipe. I tested it with Mountain Dew and it tasted exactly the same as Sierra Mist, 7-UP, or Sprite. I utilize an alternate to coffee for the purpose of my heart (SVT).

Ingredients:

• 1 large apple {I used a Fuji- any apple will do, tart is better}
• 1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 cup or 6 oz. 7-Up or equivalent {half the can}
