Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup crushed walnuts
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle caffeinated citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
  • Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
  • Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

Tips:

  • Properly measuring ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate measurements, as this directly affects the final outcome of the recipe.
  • Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up, making it easier to handle and resulting in a flakier texture.
  • Working with crescent rolls: If the crescent roll dough is too soft, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up. When separating the dough, be gentle to prevent tearing.
  • Filling preparation: Make sure the apple filling is not too wet, as this can make the dough soggy. If needed, drain any excess liquid from the apples before mixing them with the other ingredients.
  • Baking the crescents: Bake the crescents until they are golden brown, as this indicates that they are cooked through. Keep an eye on them during baking to prevent overcooking.
