Apple Turnovers

My daughter Claire (she's 9) wanted to make dessert. This is one that she can make by herself, although I did help with the peeling and coring of the apples because we had an incident at Thanksgiving with making an apple pie that she isn't quite over;)

At any rate..a friend of mine calls them Mountain Dew Apples. Pioneer Woman calls them Apple Dumplings. I just call them YUMMY and glad that Claire was in the mood for some baking.

Apple Dumplings
1 Granny Smith Apple ~ peeled, cored and cut into 8 pieces
1 8 oz can Crescent Rolls
1 Stick Butter
3/4 C Sugar
1 t Vanilla
6 oz Mountain Dew ~ 3/4 C
Cinnamon to taste

Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in sprayed 8 inch square pan. Melt butter, add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla and stir again. Pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream and extra pan sauce over the top.
Here's what you'll need.
Peeled, cored and cut into 8 pieces.
Break apart your crescent rolls so you can wrap them around the apples.
Wrap the crescent around the apple like this. Claire wanted to show you how to do this and she wanted to take the photo so I was her assistant;)
Put your apples in your sprayed pan.
Melt your butter.
Add your sugar and "just" mix together. Add vanilla and stir again quick.
Pour over the apples.
Sprinkle with cinnamon
Mountain Dew around the edges.
YUM...fresh out of the oven. Serve with ice cream.
