Our #1 New Recipe of the Summer

This was the top new recipe we discovered this summer. Between us and our neighbors, the Fransons, we have probably made it 20 times. If you can get over the fact that you are using refrigerated crescent rolls, these are so dang yummy! Beware all diabetics out there - this will send your blood sugar levels through the roof! Even if you're not diabetic, this may make you one, it's that sweet. But so, so, finger-licking, plate-licking, pan-licking good.

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings

2 cans crescent rolls
2 apples (I like Fuji or Granny Smith)
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter (two sticks)
cinnamon
1 can Mountain Dew

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, core and cut apples into 8 pieces each. Roll a crescent roll around each piece of apple and put in two 9x13 pans (I like glass better than metal). In a saucepan, bring sugar and butter to low boil. Add a bit of the Mountain Dew and stir well to make sure sugar is dissolved. Pour around the crescent rolls in pans. Pour the rest of the can of Mountain Dew over the rolls and sprinkle all with cinnamon. Bake for 30 minutes uncovered, then cover and bake for 10 more minutes. Serve with cream, ice cream or Cool Whip.

Enjoy the sugar rush! You can get away with serving one per person, but invariably your guests will want two each. Or three. Then they start licking the pan... oh wait, that's just me.
