Who knew that crescent rolls, cinnamon sugar apples, brown sugar butter and sprite could make the best easy apple dumplings with sprite ever! Take one stick of the butter, and grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Place remaining butter and the other stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl. Peel and core apples, then cut apples into 16 thin slices.
Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Flatten biscuits with rolling pin. Place 1 teaspoon butter in the core area of each apple half. Wrap each biscuit around 1 apple half. Place seam side down in greased baking dish. Combine sugar, water, melted butter and vanilla; pour over dumplings. Sprinkle cinnamon over dumplings.
You can either make dough from scratch or use shortcut dough (like Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls). The dumplings are baked in a pan surrounded by a sweet sauce until the pastry dough is golden brown and the filling is tender.
In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar together. Spread the mixture evenly over the apples. Carefully spread the butter or margarine over the apples. Pour the sprite only around the edges of the pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until they have browned well.
