By Carroll Pellegrinelli, About.com

I have to thank Janet, my absolute favorite grocery store check-out clerk, for this quick and easy recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 - 8 ounce tube cresent rolls
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple, cored and peeled
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 cup Mountain Dew soda

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 9-inch deep dish pie plate or 8-inch square baking pan. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Cut apple into 8 wedges. On large work service, place one wedge into one triangle. Melt butter in microwave. Stir in brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of butter mixture over each apple wedge. Wrap dough around wedge around apple. Place in prepared pan. Repeat until all 8 are done. Sprinkle tops with remaining cinnamon. Carefully, pour Mountain Dew around rolls. Bake uncovered for 30-25 minutes or until tops are brown. Serve warm with whipped or ice cream.
