Dad's Birthday Special Apple Dumplings

Another delicious entry for the 2016 Bakeoff made by Kerry especially for Dad's birthday.  His favorite fruit dessert is anything made with apples.  

Ingredients:

2 whole Granny Smith apples
2 cans (8 ounce cans) Crescent Rolls
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cinnamon, to tate
1 can (12 ounce) Mountain Dew soda

Instructions:

Peel and core apples.  

Cut each apple into 8 slices each.  

Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll.  Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan.

Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir.  Add vanilla, stir and pour entire mixture over apples.

Pour Mountain Dew around edges the pan.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 4 minutes.  Serve with ice cream and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.
