Ready for the best mock apple pie recipe? This Mountain Dew apple dumpling recipe uses a can of soda for a gooey, delicious apple dessert you’ll love!
When my friend Jenny–who you may remember from this amazing fish recipe–first shared this funny little recipe with me a few years ago, I literally laughed out loud. It just sounded so crazy! I mean, seriously…..Mountain Dew? In a baked dish? I thought she was joking.
Until, of course, I tasted it.
That’s when I begged her for the recipe. Luckily for me and for all of you, she was happy to share.
Of course I do feel the need to start with a word of caution for those of you, who despite the name “Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings,” were expecting some sort of whole-food-clean-eating-organic-gluten-free-or-otherwise-healthy dessert. It is not healthy in any way. It is full of preservatives and white sugar and probably even some high-fructose-corn-syrup. If this bothers you, just click away now! For the rest of you, keep reading. This is one quick & easy recipe you will want to whip up again and again!
Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings
Here is what you need:
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls 2 baking apples, such as Gala, McIntosh, or Granny Smith 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 stick of butter, melted cinnamon 6 ounces Mountain Dew soda cooking spray

Step 2: Spray 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Unroll crescent rolls.
Step 3: Wrap 1 apple wedge in crescent roll, then pinch seams together to cover apple completely. Place in dish; repeat with remaining apple wedges.
