Apple Dumplings

I found this delicious recipe this week and thought, heck, since I'm on a diet, I'll make something fattening for the everyone else...of course, I did try ONE and wow!

2 Granny Smith Apples (or the big red ones, big is what you want)
2 cans of crescent rolls
2 sticks fo butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon
1 small can Mt. Dew (or 1/2 regular can)

Peel and core apples, cut into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 X 13 butter pan. Melt butter, then add sugar, barely stirring, add vanilla and stir, pour this over the apples. Pour Mt. Dew around the edge of the pan and sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Serve with ice cream.
I could not find my 9X13 pan, I believe its been hijacked! So I had to use my round cake pans.
