Apple Dumplings - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 16 dumplings

Ingredients

  • ½ stick butter
  • 1 cup white sugar plus more for sprinkling
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 12 ounce bottle Mountain Dew soda
  • 2 ounces Apple Crown Whiskey
  • 2 ounces Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
  • 3 to 4 Granny Smith apples peeled and cored
  • 2 cans crescent rolls
  • Cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Sugar for sprinkling
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish, or 12-inch Dutch oven.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Mix in the white sugar, brown sugar, 3 teaspoons of cinnamon, Mountain Dew, apple whisky and cinnamon whisky. Bring to a low simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: you can leave out the alcohol and substitute with additional Mountain Dew, if preferred.
  • Slice the apples. You’ll need 16 slices, so you don’t need to slice them too thinly.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls and separate. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on each roll. Place an apple slice at the larger end of the dough and roll up. Place the dumplings in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the liquid in the bottom of the baking dish until the liquid reaches about halfway up the dumplings. You want to reserve about 1 to 1 ½ cups of the liquid. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until browned.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Bring the leftover Mountain Dew sauce to a low boil. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Cook until it thickens. Drizzle over top of the dumplings with ice cream.
