Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings


Dave had a birthday last week; so happy birthday Dave. Dave has always been a decent cook. I do remember however when he almost burned down Johnny's tent when he was cooking his "famous" wings.


I did some research on Mountain Dew and here is what I found. Mountain Dew was created in Knoxville in 1954. The bottle of Mountain Dew sported a hillbilly with a hound dog. I am not sure who is Charlie and who is Bill. Mountain Dew sold the beverage to Pepsi in 1966. Pepsi dropped Charlie and Bill shortly after that. I guess they are living on cereal right now.

2 cans crescent rolls
2 large Granny Smith apples
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sticks butter
2 cans of Mountain Dew

Preheat oven to 350-degrees and lightly grease a 9 X 13 pan/glass dish. Core, peel, and slice apples into 8 wedges for 16 total apple dumplings. Roll apple slices into crescent rolls, roll from wide end first. Place them in the pan. Melt butter in a saucepan and then stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Spoon or pour the mixture over the rolled apples. Pour Mountain Dew around apple dumplings in the pan. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes.

While you wait you can drink the last can of Mountain Dew. Angie would rather you clean up your mess Dave.
