A delightful twist on the classic apple dessert, these crescent rolls are filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your dessert.
Peel and core the apples, then slice each into 8 wedges.
Use a sharp knife or an apple slicer for uniform slices.
Wrap each apple slice in a crescent roll triangle, sealing the edges.
Ensure the dough fully encases the apple slice to lock in the juices.
Arrange the wrapped apples in a buttered 9x13 baking dish.
Leave a little space between each roll for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Mix until the sugar is just combined with the butter for a smooth sauce.
Pour the butter mixture over the wrapped apples.
Distribute the mixture evenly for consistent flavor.
Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the dish.
The soda adds a unique flavor and helps create a caramelized sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Drizzle some of the sauce from the dish over the rolls for extra sweetness.
