Can I make Cresent Roll Apple Dumplings ahead of time?

Yes. You can partially make this recipe a few days in advance by rolling apples in triangle crescent dough and placing them onto a buttered baking dish. Cover the dish and store it in the fridge. About 45 minutes to an hour before you are ready to serve, pour caramel sauce and Sprite and bake.
Storing Leftovers: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator
Reheating Leftovers: Reheat leftovers either on a plate in the microwave until heated through or the best method - in the oven covered with foil at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes

Tips and Tricks:

  • Be sure to only pour the caramel sauce directly onto the dumplings. The Sprite should go on the bottom of the baking pan in between the dumplings
  • for a shortcut method - Use a device that quickly cores and sliced the apples into wedges
  • serve apple dumplings with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
