Apple Dumplings

This recipe seems to be floating all over the Internet -- probably because it's so good that people want to shout it from the rooftops! I love it because it tastes like something that was labor intensive to make and yet it is so not that. This recipe is quick to put together and makes for a delicious dessert. You also might be able to get away with it for a sweet breakfast.
Ingredients:
2 medium Granny Smith apples
2 cans crescent rolls
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 oz Sprite
cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Peel apples, core, and cut each one into eight wedges (16 total wedges). Open a can of crescent roll dough and carefully separate along the perforations. Place one apple wedge on each piece of dough and wrap it up. Place in pan and repeat with remaining can of dough and apples. Set aside.

In medium sauce pan melt butter; add sugar and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour butter sugar mixture over the apples. Then pour the Sprite over top of that. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 40 minutes.

When dumplings are done serve with ice cream and a ladle full of sauce. Serves 8.
