Apple Dumplings
Ingredients:
2 cans crescent rolls
2 granny smith apples
1 stick butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/3 cup splenda (or sugar)
1 (12 oz) diet Mountain Dew
Directions:
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
Peel and core apples. Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge in a crescent roll. Place rolls in a 9 x 13 baking dish. In small saucepan melt butter. Once melted add splenda (or sugar) and cinnamon. Mix well. Spoon over crescent rolls. Pour diet Mountain Dew over rolls. Bake for 45 minutes.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ease of Preparation: easy
Notes from the Paula Deen Test Kitchen: Splenda is more difficult to mix in butter than sugar. Mixes better if butter is melted. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, Splenda and cinnamon. Remove the dumplings to a wire rack after cooking as the liquid still in the baking dish will make the dumplings soggy. The Apple Dumplings taste like mini apple pies.

Good advice about removing cooked dumplings from sauce so they don't get soggy....but what does one do if one wants to make this earlier in the day? Nobody who published this receipe discussed..what one can do to "preserve" the dessert for later consumption! Thanks!

Hey, Paula saw you making Lemonade the other day. Just the way I do. But do to the fact that my cousin (who I take care of) has diabetes. I tried this (just a tip). When you make anything with sugar,do this Take 2/3 gallon of water, add 2/3 to 3/4 cup sugar. Stir till crystal clear, then add whatever (Lemon, Lime, tea, etc.) When I make tea, I have a small pan that I take a tea bag, boil water until it turns really dark. Then add to my water above. Makes some of the best Ice tea, and tastes like I am using a full cup of sugar, but I'm not. Love your show. Keep it up. Marty Stephenson--Chico,CA

I have made the Apple dumplings "Apple Thangs", as we call them, for years. Yes they are deliclious. We leave them in the liquid as they cool and become a thick sweet sauce for the thangs. These are a favorite for the family as well as friends and church members. Love the show, Paula, my mother in law watches it every day and she's 91 yrs. young. Keep up the good work and keep gettting healthy.

Paula,I am also picky when making my bed!! I think mine is neater and more inviting than yours! All the Grandkids LOVE Na Na's bed!!

Make lemonade! Bobby can "challenge" Paula! Have SON teach MOM!. Sometimes we learn from our children!!!! I am a nurse and I love to cook gourmet meals; I became Diabetic 3 years ago; I have lost 30 lbs, from 200 to 170, and my blood sugars are under 100. The only medication I take is Metformin 500 mg once daily. I came to this site because I believe Bobby, a trained chef who has deviated from his Mom's recipes, can help her to turn this PR debacle around. Side by side he can show her, recipe by recipe how to improve. ALSO, stress portions and carbohydrate information. Good Luck. Dolores Kuenzel,RN, retired.

I had printed this out this last weekend with full intentions of following the directions. Well with not a moment to spare I threw everything except for the cresent rolls in a bowl mixed and then threw them on the rolls and baked. I sliced the apples a little thinner and just put a two apple slices per cresent roll. It took half the bake time and they were the biggest hit!!! Thanks for letting me tweak your recipe a little.
By Kelli Schnell on July 27, 2010
I have made these for years - ALWAYS, ALWAYS a huge hit! They’re easy & inexpensive. Ya just wanna lick the pan! :0)

I love this recipe and so does everyone at my church. When we have a special meal everyone requests that I make these. I usually prepare two large buffet pans of them. Great recipe and I use Dt. Mountain Dew in mine for those folks that may be diabetic.
