Easiest Apple Dumpling Bake

4 comments Posted by Eric and Jill at 7:36 PM

This was something I learned at a cooking class I went to tonight and it was just so good and yet so quick I thought I would share!
Ingredients:
2 eight oz cans refridgerator cresent rolls (8 rolls per can)
2 medium Granny smith apples, peeled and sliced into 8 pieces
1 cup sugar
1/3 melted butter
3/4 cup Sprite
Cinnamon

Unroll dough and pull apart to make 16 triangles. Roll apple into each triangle and place in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
In a bowl mix butter and sugar. Spread over rolls. Slowly pour Sprite over rolls. DO NOT STIR!
Sprinkle with cinnamon & bake uncovered @ 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Serves 8 (2 dumplings each)
Can serve with vanilla ice cream, cool whip or whipped cream.
Its really easy to make and yet tastes so good! Have fun and I'd love to hear if you like it.

 

Before we vote...

Before we vote, we must ask our leaders one final important question...Why did the chicken cross the road?

I took this from my friends blog.

Why did the Chicken cross the road?

Barack Obama: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

John McCain: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

Hillary Clinton: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure - right from Day one - that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

George W. Bush: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

Dick Cheney: Where's my gun?

Colin Powell: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

Bill Clinton: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

John Kerry: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chickens intentions. I am not for it now, and willremain against it.

Al Sharpton: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens!

Dr. Phil: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.

Oprah: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of us chickens.

Nancy Grace: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

Pat Buchanan: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

Ernest Hemingway: To die in the rain, alone.

Jerry Falwell: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side'. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, youwill become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

Grandpa: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

Barbara Walters: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious scare ofmolting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

John Lennon: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

Albert Einstein: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

Colonel Sanders: Did I miss one???

So starting Monday Eric will be moving to underground. I can't say that I'm not thoroughly pleased. No more having to even think of him falling off a pole. He'll be safe on the ground or even under it. What could go wrong there right! We actually had lunch with his previous Journeyman on Saturday who went off several times telling me what a great apprentice Eric is and just how smart he is. Its always nice to hear great compliments like that.

Its amazing how quickly someone can become a huge part of your life. We've only had Izzie for about a month and already she takes up the majority of our spare time. Eric enjoys her company a great deal and gets very frustrated when she doesn't play correctly or makes a mistake. But the two are still great pals.

 

Private Newey Reporting for Duty

Adam got to visit us before he left for Korea for a year. I went and picked him up from Houston on Wednesday night and we brought him up to Dallas this morning. We had fun despite that we spent most our time simply talking and laughing. As Adam is probably the one other person who reads both as fast as I do and as much as I do, we had fun going to the used bookstores and looking for books. Even though it was short, it was great to have him out here.






Adam Left at 10:50 am for his thirteen hour flight to Korea. Do not worry though he now has eight books he is excited to read to keep him entertained. He was also thrilled that he'll be getting a meal while on the plane. Its the little things.

Adam has two faces now. One that I grew up with that always looks like he is laughing at something and then this one where nothing looks funny at all. He says he learned this one while at boot camp and can't think of anything other keep every muscle straight.This was Adam all packed up and heading out!

My favorite memory of Adam was when he was very little. A cop was asking each of us some questions for fun that would go on a video later. When it was Adam's turn he was asked the simple question of "what is your name." As Adam is never nervous he confidently replies "I'm Adam Newey Scott Newey." In my mind that's how I always hear his name.
