John's Apple Dumpling Delight

This is one of the most decadent desserts you will EVER eat!  It is absolutely delicious and super easy.  I made it while my family was in town visiting for Halloween.  If you like apples, you will not be disappointed.  How could you with 1-1/2 sticks of butter?  It's the one dessert that my father in law, John, knows to make for himself.  :)

John's Apple Dumpling Delight

2 Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
1-1/2 sticks butter, melted and still warm
1-1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 (8 oz.) can of lemon lime soda (Sprite, 7up, Mountain Dew)

Cut each apple into 8 slices.  Remove core and peel.  Lay slices in a dish and microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds.  Separate rolls into 8 triangles with each can.  Roll apple slice - one in each triangle, beginning at the large end rolling down and press sides to close.  Place in 9x13 dish.

Add sugar and cinnamon to melted butter and stir.  Spoon on top of each dumpling.  Pour drink all around.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
