Country Apple Dumplings

2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mountain Dew ™

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour Mountain Dew™ over the dumplings.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Notes:  Personally I don't think as much Mountain Dew is needed. The dumplings end up swimming in syrup.
Second time around I split the batch into two deep dish pie plates to limit crowding and that worked out well. Next time I'll try the Ezfoil cake pans and use less Mountain Dew.  Maybe even go up to 3 apples and use 1.5 in each pan to fill the pan up but not over crowd it.
