Versatile Crescent Roll Dough

Just when you think you’ve seen 1000 uses for crescent roll dough, up pops another one to take the count up to 1001 (this is always a number that’s in flux).

I’ve discovered the 1001th use here with these incredibly delicious crescent apple dumplings. Since I had quite a few tubes of the refrigerated dough on hand due to a great sale about a month ago, I had almost everything I needed to make these little beauties. One thing I lacked was the lemon soda that was in a Facebook friend’s recipe.

No problem–I had ginger ale on hand and used that.

Apples

The original recipe called for Granny Smith apples. With stores picked pretty much clean, they may not be available. I don’t ordinarily buy apples because I don’t eat them. I only buy them when I have a recipe that uses them, so I didn’t have any on hand. Luckily a friend had some but only Macintosh, so I used those. The dumplings turned out just fine.

You can probably substitute any non-citrus fruit here. Canned peaches would be a good choice and even an apple pie filling would likely do in a pinch. In these times of major shut-downs, you use what you can.

Shape Doesn’t Matter

I’ve been using crescent roll dough for more years than I care to mention. I’ve never had a sheet unroll where the triangles were perfect unless I rolled and reshaped each one. I gave up bothering with that a long time ago too.

So for these dumplings, just put the fruit along the long end of the triangle and fold up the rest of the dough around it so the fruit is covered. Actually, the little bundle it makes looks like a dumpling and they taste just as good!
