Apple Pie Dumplings with Just 2 Ingredients Recipe
Introduction
Apple Pie Dumplings are a quick and delicious twist on classic apple pie. Using just two main ingredients, this easy dessert combines sweet apple pie filling with flaky crescent rolls for a cozy treat that’s ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 21 ounces apple pie filling
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2: Open the can of crescent rolls and separate them into 12-14 equal pieces.
- Step 3: In a bowl, gently stir together the apple pie filling, crescent roll pieces, and cinnamon if using, so the crescent pieces are coated with the apple sauce.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish, making sure the crescent pieces remain on top of the apple filling.
- Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crescent rolls are fully cooked and golden. Flip the crescents gently after 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
- Step 6: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips & Variations
- Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking for added warmth and flavor.
- Use fresh diced apples cooked with sugar and cinnamon if you prefer a homemade filling.
- Try serving with caramel sauce or whipped cream as a tasty topping.
Storage
Store leftover apple pie dumplings covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. The crescent rolls may lose some crispness but will still taste delicious.

FAQs
Can I use other fruit fillings instead of apple?
Yes, pie fillings like cherry, peach, or blueberry work well for this recipe and offer a tasty variation.
Do I need to flip the crescents during baking?
Flipping the crescents halfway through baking helps them cook evenly and get golden on all sides, but if you’re careful, you can skip this step.
