You’d be hard-pressed to find a recipe more comforting than these easy apple crescent dumplings. Made with Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls and fresh apples, every bite tastes as cozy as fall feels. Have the kids help wrap the apple slices in the crescent rolls, then bake and enjoy them together, warm from the oven (with a scoop of ice cream on top, of course!).

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don’t have Granny Smith apples? Try Honeycrisp or Braeburn apples instead. These apples, like Granny Smith, are crisp and will hold their shape after baking.
  • tip 2
    Add more complex flavors to your apple dumplings by adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon.
  • tip 3
    In place of Sprite™, you can also use sodas like ginger ale, 7-Up™ or Mountain Dew™.
  • tip 4
    Top apples with a few chocolate chips before rolling up for an extra sweet dessert!
  • tip 5
    Serve dumplings with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce!
