Easy Apple Dumplings
Description
Easy Apple Dumplings are prepared by wrapping each thinly sliced Granny Smith apple segment in a triangle of crescent roll dough. The dumplings are arranged in a baking dish, then topped with a mixture of melted unsalted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract, which soaks into the dough during baking. Ginger beer is poured around the edges to create a light, fizzy syrup. A dusting of apple pie spice blended with sugar adds aromatic warmth and enhances the apple flavor.
As the dumplings bake, the dough turns golden and slightly crisp while the apple slices inside soften and release their juices. The ginger beer infuses the dish with a subtle spice and bubbles up into a syrupy consistency, which collects in the pan for serving. The spiced sugar topping adds a crunchy, sweet finish.
These dumplings are best enjoyed warm, directly from the baking dish, spooned with the syrupy sauce. Any leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to three days. They make a comforting dessert that highlights simple ingredients and straightforward preparation.
Ingredients
- 2 apple peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices each, Granny Smith, large
- 2 crescent roll dough canned
- 1 butter melted, unsalted, stick
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces ginger beer or ginger ale
For the spiced sugar:
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Wrap each apple slice in one of the dough triangles and set in the greased baking dish.
- Whisk together the melted butter, ½ cup sugar and vanilla. Mixture will be grainy. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the dough-wrapped apples.
- Pour the ginger beer or ginger ale around the edges of the pan.
- Whisk together the 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar and apple pie spice. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the dumplings.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the tops of the dumplings are golden and the syrup is bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
- Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
