Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and wrap each apple quarter snugly in the dough.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, then stir in brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
Pour the sauce evenly over the dumplings in the baking dish.
Carefully pour lemon soda around the dumplings, avoiding soaking them.
Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, ideally with ice cream or whipped cream.
