Apple Dumplings

1 large Granny Smith Apple
1 tube of crescent rolls (8 rolls)
1 stick of butter
1 cup of apple juice
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven at 350° degrees F. Grease one 9 x 11 inch baking dish with spray. Slice apple in 8
even slices removing seeds. Wrap each slice with a crescent roll. Place all rolls in the baking
dish.

Melt butter and add apple juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Heat until blended well and then pour the
