Apple Dumplings

2 pkgs crescent rolls

2-3 apples (I only used two, I wish I had used 3)

1 stick butter

1 cup sugar

1 tbs cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup Sprite or Sierra Mist or Mountain Dew

You cut the apple and wrap the crescent rolls around them. I only did one apple per roll, next time I will do two. Put them in the crock pot. Melt the butter, mix in vanilla, sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apples. Then, pour the soda over the whole thing. Mmmm.... Cook on high for 4-5 hours (vent the crock pot by propping it open with a wooden spoon or something). Ours was done in 4 1/2 hours.
