I was checking out the recipes in the Kitchen Goddess group, when I saw this one from TeamSugar member ashleyk4214. Her recipe is for a simple dessert, but unique dessert. Not any old apple dumplings, these ones are made with Mountain Dew! That's right, the golden pastries are cooked in a mixture of Mountain Dew, cinnamon, butter and sugar. If this sounds intriguing to you, get the recipe, just read more.

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings
From TeamSugar member ashleyk4214

I got this recipe in my email this afternoon and I KNEW I had to make it just as soon as I had the chance, it sounded so good! Well, the chance just so happen came up tonight when my sister invited me over for dinner (I think she is feeling sorry for me since the husband is still out of town). Anyway, here's the basics:
2 cans crescent rolls. I used Pillsbury 8 count cans in original flava. Cool
2 apples. I used green apples, I believe they were Granny Smith.
2 sticks butter. I don't skimp, the recipe says you can use margarine, but what's the point anyway?
2 cups sugar.
2 tsp. cinnamon.
1 can Mountain Dew.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Core and slice apples (I removed the skins as well).
Wrap each in a crescent triangle. I basically just tried my best to get every inch of the apple covered by the dough.
Line up in a 9x13 inch pan.
Melt butter, cinnamon, and sugar together. I just nuked the butter and then stirred in the sugar and cinnamon until it had a pretty smooth, pourable consistency.
Pour the Dew around the perimeter of the pan.
Bake 45 minutes.
Eat warm with a scoop, or 3, of vanilla ice cream.

    easy recipe, sounds horrid nutrition wise...but one to try if you want apple dumplings without the work of making the pastry part.

    I think this is originally from Pioneer Woman Cooks, right? Or maybe just a crazy coincidence. I think Ree (the blogger) posted this recipe yesterday - I actually ran out and bought the ingredients this morning to make this too!

    My boyfriend keeps asking me to make it, Ashley! He loves anything with unconventional ingredients. And I have to say, it looks really good.

    freegracefrom, that's just what I was thinking - those look like Ree's dumplings! Credit where credit is due.
    My husband makes dumplings similary to this, but he used sprite and wraps the apples peeled, cored and whole. They come out very pretty!

    thanks ladies, i hadn't checked PWC, but it does indeed seem to be the same thing. Has anyone else tried it yet?

    I didn't know it was posted on PWC either, I don't check it every day, but let me assure you, I DID make this on Tuesday night and it was really delicious!! It tasted just like apple pie a la mode! A co-worker sent this recipe to me through email, but maybe she got it from a person that got it from a person that got it from PWC, I don't know.
    As for what the mountain dew does, I'm not exactly sure, but my co-worker said that she has made it before and used Sprite instead and it was just as tasty. I thought the end product was extremely sweet and next time I might either cut down on the sugar or the mountain dew I add to the recipe.

    I have made these before. The recipe was called "apple-dews" ha!
    My aunt gave me the recipe and she says if you don't want to use the Mt.Dew, you can use 7up, sprite..ect.
    They are very sweet, I cut the sugar amount in half, and they were still sweet enough. So yummy with ice cream!

    It must just be a very popular recipe. Smiling I didn't mean to accuse you, Ashley. I just did a double-take because she had just recently posted this recipe too. I think it's a sign that I definitely need to make these myself soon and I'll take your suggestion not to use as much Mt Dew.

    Not sure on this one. The Mountain Dew thing turns me off.

    i just noticed a chocolate cake recipe, but forget that - these look so much more tasty! Do you suppose diet soda would work? I'm diabetic, and I can't have too much sugar (I'd be using Splenda, too).

    I LOVE these. They are wonderful. I learned to make them in foods class and they have been a huge hit at home ever since. Easy and yummy. My grandma makes them with peaches also which are also wonderful.
