1 tsp Vanilla
12oz. Mountain Dew
Ground Cinnamon

6. Place rolls into a greased 8 1/2 x 11 baking dish.
7. Pour sugar/butter/vanilla mixture over the dumplings.

9. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
10. Bake in oven for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Dish with some of the sauce from the pan.
Barbara served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Whipped cream would be great too, or even plain out of the oven is pretty phenomenal. She did say you could switch out the Mountain Dew with Sprite or another citrus-y soda. You do you.
And be sure to use Granny Smiths. With the sweetness of the sugar and soda, the sour apple really balances the dish out. Thanks again to B-Gibbs, and our amazing photographer Bob G., and have a great Thanksgiving!
