Ingredients

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • Remove the crescent rolls from their packaging and lay them flat, separating them into the pre-cut triangle portions.
3. Add the Filling:
   • Place a spoonful of apple pie filling on the wider section of each triangle.
   • Roll the dough from the filled end, ensuring the apple filling is securely enclosed.
4. Arrange in Baking Dish:
   • Place each filled crescent roll in the greased baking dish, spaced evenly apart.
   • Continue until all dough triangles are filled and arranged in the dish.
5. Prepare the Topping:
   • In a mixing bowl, blend the unsalted butter and brown sugar using a mixer or hand whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Place a teaspoon of the butter and sugar mixture on each crescent roll.
6. Add the Soda:
   • Pour the lemon-lime soda into the baking dish, ensuring it fills the gaps between the rolls. Avoid pouring directly over the crescent rolls.
7. Bake:
   • Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven.
   • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings achieve a golden brown color.
8. Serve:
   • Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving.
   • Serve warm, and for an extra treat, pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
