Apple Turnovers

Posted by Donna:

I'm anxious to share this recipe with you. One of the men from our congregation has been bringing this special dessert to our fellowship meals for years. Everyone loves it. I decided last week to make it as one of my desserts for our Christmas family get-together yesterday. I must say it was a big hit.

2 sticks butter (do not substitute margarine)

2 medium apples ( I used Granny Smith)

1-1/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 pkg. (8 count) crescent rolls

1 (8 oz.) can of Mountain Dew

Peel and core each apple and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a crescent roll and place in a large baking dish.

Melt the butter on top of the stove; then add the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bring to a rolling boil and spoon it over the rolls. Be sure and don't pour it on top of the rolls. I used a ladle to spoon mine on top of the turnovers.

Pour the Mountain Dew around the turnovers---not on top of them. If you pour it on top of the turnovers, the sugar/cinnamon/butter mixture will come off of them. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes.

My sons-in-law and grandson absolutely loved these. I do, too-----and you will, too when you make them.

Enjoy!!!!!
