Sometimes you hear about a crazy recipe and just have to try it yourself. Can something so simple really be so good??? Yes it can. I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com while searching for something else and was fascinated. I read the comments - 1651 and it was rated 5 stars with glowing recommendations - so I bought my first bottle of Mountain Dew since probably 1972, 2 packages of cresent rolls, 2 Granny Smith apples and went home to prepare this crazy concoction. After reading the reviews, I decided to cut the calories by using diet Mountain Dew and replacing half the sugar with Splenda. The dumplings were crisp and brown on the top and gooey on the bottom- just like granny's dumplings. I had purchased a pint of High Road's Burnt Sugar Bourbon ice cream for this little experiment and it added the "upscale gourmet" taste to this quirky dish. It's definitely a keeper if you like family style comfort food. I would even say you could cut back the sugar to 1 cup and it would still be sweet enough. I'll rate it 5 stars too! Maybe I'll try peach dumplings next???? We will be joining
