Apple dumplings are a delicious dessert made by wrapping apple slices in pastry and baking them with a sweet syrup. Here’s a basic recipe for making apple dumplings:

Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 package (2 sheets) of refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 8-10 wedges per apple.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
4. Place an apple wedge on the wide end of each triangle of dough, then roll it up, enclosing the apple. Arrange the rolled dumplings in a greased baking dish.
5. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the apple dumplings in the baking dish.
7. In the same saucepan, add 1 1/2 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
8. Carefully pour the boiling water over the dumplings.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the dumplings are golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Remove from the oven and let the dumplings cool slightly before serving.

Serve the apple dumplings warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
