Assemble Apple Dumplings (photos in post)
- Unroll a crescent dough triangle onto a clean, flat surface.
- Spread about a Tablespoon of the sugar mixture onto the dough, concentrating it at the widest part of the dough.
- Place a slice of apple onto the dough about ¼-½ inch from the base edge of the dough.
- Tucking the apple slice inward, roll the dough into a crescent shape, pinching the seams together to keep the filling inside.
- Continue working until all of the crescent rolls have been filled and shaped.
- Arrange the dumplings side-by-side into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- Pour the heavy cream over the dumplings, concentrating on getting it into the cracks between the dumplings and all around the edges of the pan.
Bake
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dough is set and golden brown on the top, and the apples are soft when pierced with a knife. Cover with foil during baking if tops are browning too fast.
Serve
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and/or caramel sauce for garnish if desired.
