These scrumptious Apple Dumplings are fresh wedges of apple rolled in dough and baked in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. The end result is mouthwatering buttery sweet dumplings drizzled with a caramel like sauce. Good luck resisting these delicious tasty treats. They are made easy using ready made crescent rolls and a little more than a handful of common pantry ingredients.
