Quick and easy apple dumplings

November 30, 2012

Anouk is finally getting to the age where cooking is as much fun for her as eating, and so I'm on the lookout lately for kid-friendly recipes that are as easy as they are delicious. I found this one, for crescent-roll apple dumplings, at the Better Cookies blog, and with a few tweaks, it fit the bill entirely. Try it -- I promise you'll like it, too, even if you are not fond of baking. (Honestly, it's so easy it hardly even counts.)

Apple Dumplings

1 pack of crescent rolls
1 apple (we used Honeycrisp. YUM!)
Butter
Brown sugar
Cinnamon

Unroll the crescent rolls on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the rolls with melted butter, and then sprinkle thickly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Slice the apple and place the slices at the wide end of the triangle and roll. Pinch the ends closed so the filling stays in, sprinkle outside of the dumpling with more cinnamon and sugar, and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Enjoy! (We sure did).
