Country Apple Dumplings

This is one of my most requested recipes.  Everyone that eats this always comes back to me for the recipe.

2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2-3/4 can Mountain Dew (can also use Sprite or 7up)

*Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.   Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.  Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.  Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour Mountain Dew over the dumplings.  Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.   These are also good served with ice cream on top.

THEY WILL MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!

2 Tbsp. sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla
