Apple Dumplings

This is a simple, simple, recipe I found on the internet. This is a keeper for my family.  You can find the recipe here. You could try this recipe as is or if you are in a crunch for time here is a quicker way:

Take a can of crescent rolls and roll out into the bottom of a 9x13 buttered dish.  Peel, core and cut two Granny Smith apples into fairly equal sized wedges.  Place the wedges evenly over the crescent rolls in bottom of dish.   Sprinkle cinnamon over the apples.  Spread the second can of crescent rolls over the top of the apples.  Melt 2 sticks of butter in microwave, add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and stir gently.  Stir 1 teaspoon of vanilla into butter and sugar mixture. Pour mixture over the crescent rolls.  Last but not least pour a small can of Mountain Dew around the edge and a little over the top of the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.  (This recipe can easily be halved as pictured below.)
