Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings
There are many variations to this southern recipe, but 3 ingredients are consistent across all of the recipes, Mountain Dew, Apples, and Canned Crescent Rolls. This is my favorite version of this recipe. The Mountain Dew may seem strange, but it adds a wonderful flavor to this. Give it a try!

- 3 apples granny smith or preferred type

This is one of the best dessert recipes I have ever run across in a group feed! Had it at one of my Bunco games and fell in love with it! Brought the recipe home to my husband and he has been making it ever since for group feeds! It is always a great hit!
