Do I suck at updating or what? Stupid real life, getting in the way of my blogging! As it turns out, two year olds don't give a shit if you want to sit at your computer quietly for fifteen minutes. Who knew?
This is a recipe that initially started with my mother-in-law. I loved the recipe, but it used a LOT of sugar and my husband (who isn't too big on super-sweet food) would never help me eat it, so I'd invariably wind up eating basically the whole thing over a couple of days by myself with only a little bit of help from Kiddo. So, I decided to experiment. The results were AWESOME. So here is the recipe I now use!
Ingredients:
About 4 medium apples (choose your favorite type)
2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
2 sticks of butter
1/2 can of Diet 7Up
1/3 cup honey
Zest from two lemons
1. Grease your pan(s)/casserole dish and preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. Slice the apples. You want medium-sized chunks.
3. Wrap the apple chunks in the individual crescent rolls and place in the pan.
4. Melt the butter and stir the honey, zest, and 7 Up into the melted butter. Pour mixture over the dumplings.
5. Cook until dumplings are a nice golden brown (about 30 minutes). Allow to cool and enjoy!
These dumplings are excellent to bring to potlucks, or serve with breakfast. They're also great hangover food. (HI MOM!)
