The apple is the queen of autumn foods and you can make miracles with it. If you share my love for anything made with apples, then this cinnamon-apple-crescent roll fantasy is exactly what you need to try.




I made it for the first time and we were charmed by the taste. The smell of cinnamon and apples is what characterizes this simple dessert that melts in your mouth because it is soaked in apples and their juice.

I believe that a combination with pears or peaches would also be fine, and if everything is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, mmmmm … Ah-mazing !

The method is simple:
Wash the apples, peel and cut into eight equal slices. Unwrap the crescent roll and separate the triangles. Place a piece of apple on each triangle of dough (on a wider side) and roll it in a croissant. Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the butter, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla, mix until you get a liquid mixture without lumps and pour over the rolls. Pour soda (7up or Mountain Dew) between rolls (but not over) and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until they become golden brown.
Additionally, a few minutes later, mine story ends as the last dumplings was gone, my housemates said the dessert was nice and that’s the most important thing – we enjoyed the little things and made a completely normal day better by this fine dessert.
Hopefully, I managed to take a couple of shots to show you.

  1. How does one pour the mixture of butter, cinnamon and vanilla? Should the butter be melted to do so? Love the recipe.

  2. I don’t cook any more…but I am going to try these…They will be great for my
    C,LJ Bible study group, with our coffee. Thanks

  3. O I can’t wait to fix this. do you sprinkle a little cinnamon or brown sugar on the apples before you roll them?

  4. So, I made these and they were delicious! I’m making them again for some guest and when I made them, they came out almost looking burnt. Should I cover with foil or what do you suggest? It is just an esthetic reason that I ask.
    Thank you

  5. Can I construct the dumplings earlier in the day and then pour the liquids over at the last minute before baking? Trying to do as much ahead of time as possible for Thanksgiving.

  6. Severa similar recipes call for orange juice in place of the 7UP or MDew. I am going to try with OJ. Can’t wait to try this!

  7. I’ve made this a lot of times now and I can say one of my favourites! So easy and yet so YUMMY! Thank you 🙂

  8. I made these last night and they were delicious !!! I melted the butter and it was still very thick so I spread it on top of the crescent rolls and they were amazing. Thanks for sharing the recipe

  9. We call them apple fritters! I’ve always used water and put it in with the butter and sugar mixture… but I am definitely going to try this next time!! I love to take a spoonful of the ‘slime’ (as the kids call the buttery mix) and drizzle it over the fritters!!
