Ingredients
2 medium Granny Smith apples
1 (8-count) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup very finely chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8-inch-square baking dish.
2. Peel and core apples. Cut each apple into fourths. Unroll and separate crescent roll dough. Wrap each apple section in a crescent roll. Place in pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
3. Combine butter, sugar and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over dumplings. Sprinkle pecans over top.
4. Bake 30 minutes, or until crust is golden and beginning to bubble and apples are just tender when pierced with a fork.
5. To serve, spoon some of the syrup from the baking dish over dumplings. Serve with ice cream, if desired. Serves 8.

I love apple dumpling, in fact I can do pretty much anything with apples but this recipe seems to be an easy one, rather than the one I came up with it. So I will surely try it and see what happens thanks, Lourdes
