Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings
Oh my stars. This apple dumpling recipe made with Mountain Dew is amazing! I first tasted the goodness at a neighborhood party. I could seriously not get enough. My neighbor was kind enough to pass along the recipe, and not only is this delicious it is SO easy to make. That is a big winner in my book.
We may have made this three times last week. Yes. We made it for a neighbor to enjoy with a homemade dinner after surgery. After smelling the awesome sauce we then made it for ourselves. The following night we had a birthday party to attend and made it again to bring to the party. Again, it was a hit.
Trust me. It can’t get more delicious with this amount of easiness.
Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this goodness.
- 2 Granny Smith Apples
- 2 Cans Crescent Rolls (8 oz each)
- 2 Sticks Butter
- 1 ½ Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- 1 Can of Mountain Dew Soda (12 oz)
The crescent rolls make this a seriously easy recipe. Pop the can, man. (Anyone else feel a bit of anxiety before the can opens? Asking for a friend.) And then wrap each individual sliced granny smith apple within the crescent roll. I like to slice my apples into eight pieces which means you’ll have 16 little dumplings.
After placing the dumplings into a pan, melt the butter and add the sugar and stir. Once well mixed add the vanilla. Pour over the dumplings. Then, pour the mountain dew around the edges of the mt. dew apple dumplings.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy! They are best served warm right away with a topping of vanilla ice cream.

should I pour out the pop that is left in pan after cooking?
& remove dumplings from pan so don’t get mushy??
The sugary mixture will solidify, so there is no need to remove the apple dumplings from the pan. They are best served right away, but you can reheat and have the same great flavor. As for the remaining pop – you can drink it – but you won’t need it for the recipe.
I made this and it was wonderful!
I used diet ginger ale instead .
I added a tsp of cream cheese to the apple slice before wrapping in dough.
