Introduction
Apple Pie Dumplings are a quick and delicious treat that combines the warm sweetness of apple pie filling with flaky crescent rolls. With just two main ingredients, this dessert is perfect for a cozy night in or an easy-to-make crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 21 ounces apple pie filling
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2: Open the can of crescent rolls and cut the dough into 12 to 14 equal pieces.
- Step 3: In a bowl, stir together the apple pie filling and crescent roll pieces. If using, add cinnamon to coat the crescent dough evenly with the filling.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish, making sure the crescent pieces remain on top of the filling.
- Step 5: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden and fully cooked. Halfway through baking (around 15 minutes), flip the crescent pieces to ensure even browning.

- Try using peach or cherry pie filling for a fun twist on the classic apple taste.
- For a crunchier topping, drizzle melted butter over the crescent pieces before baking.

FAQs
Can I use homemade pie filling instead of canned?
Yes, homemade pie filling works wonderfully. Just make sure it’s not too watery to avoid soggy crescents.
Do I have to flip the crescent rolls while baking?
Flipping helps the crescent rolls bake evenly and get golden on all sides, but if you prefer, you can bake without flipping; just expect a slightly different texture.
