Apple Dumpling Time

Forget Apple Blossom Time...it's Apple Dumplin' Time around here.

Make these dumplin's today.  They will make you want to kiss me, slap me, and possibly write bad checks, all at the same time.

Apple Dumplin's

2 cans crescent rolls
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and each one cut into 8 slices
2 sticks of butter (I know...bad, bad bad) (salted is better than unsalted butter)
1 1/2 cups sugar (again..bad, bad, bad)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup apple juice
cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.  Wrap one apple slice in one crescent roll.  Lay them all in a 13 x 9 casserole.
In a pot, melt 2 sticks of butter.  Turn off heat and  stir in sugar and vanilla.  Pour all over the crescent rolls and apples.  Pour the apple juice around the rolls in the pan.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for about 40 minutes until browned.  These are best when they are room temperature and wonderful when served with vanilla ice cream.
