The sweet dessert dumplings are easy to make and especially delicious. I recommend making extra sauceâpeople canât seem to get enough of it. Ingredients:
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls |
4 small granny smith apples, peeled and halved |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
orange sauce: |
3/4 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Unroll crescent dough and separate into eight triangles. Wrap one triangle around each apple half. Place on a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan, flat side down.
2. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dumplings. Bake at 350° for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender.
3. For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in butter just until blended. Serve warm with warm dumplings; sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).
