We had a pretty uneventful New Year’s weekend. We ran some errands and ate at home all weekend. We grilled steaks, made lasagna and had the most amazing dessert – caramel apple dumplings. Now, these aren’t any apple dumplings, these are the most amazing apple dumplings ever! Who would ever think that apples, crescents rolls and 7UP would bake up into this amazing soft, warm and crispy goodness? So simple, but SO GOOD!
This really was one of the best desserts that I’ve ever had. I could have eaten the whole pan by myself, but I shared them with Chicken Legs. This would be a great dessert for a casual dinner party – just double the recipe. I can’t imagine anyone that wouldn’t like this recipe.
Caramel Apple Dumplings
(Printable Recipe)
1 whole Granny Smith apple
1 can crescent rolls
8 caramel apple Hershey Kisses, cut in half (optional)
1 stick butter
¾ c sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
Cinnamon, To Taste
½ can (6 Oz.) 7up or Sprite
Peel and core apple. Cut the apple into 8 slices each. Top crescent roll with an apple slice and two halves of the kiss. Roll up in the crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 9 buttered pan.
Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour entire mixture over apples. Pour 7up or Sprite around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the syrup from the pan over the top.
Where in the world does one find caramel apple Hershey kisses? I've never even heard of them! Please let me know…..kjkeeling@gmail.com
Aren't those things crazy good? I love them too
I have made these before, but without the caramel apple Hershey kisses. Without them, this dish is AMAZING!! It makes you want to go back for seconds and thirds! I am sure it could only taste better with the kisses added!!
looks very delicious they are making me drool :p~

That looks like my kind of dessert! I'm going to try it soon.
ohforpitysake! This looks unbelievable.
Looks amazing and so easy to make.
oh man, I've made a similar dish but with mountain dew (and no kisses…love that addition!). People always go CRAZY for the apple dumplings!!
Interesting – kisses and 7up.
Sounds good.
This looks great! Never tried making dessert with 7-up before. Interesting! Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.
Looks like a great, different dessert. Believe it or not, once in awhile I appreciate a non-chocolate one! Congrats on top 9.
