Author: Mrs Couso

2 tart apples,

2 pkgs. crescent rolls

1 cube of butter/oleo

1 c. sugar\

Cinnamon to taste

Can of soda.

 

Cooking Directions: butter 11×13 baking dish, slice apples into 16 pieces, rolls up in crescent rolls,, place apple/crescent rolls wraps in dish. Melt butter, sugar, and cinnamon stir (sugar does not have to be dissolved) pour this mixture over apple/crescent rolls, then add can of soda on top. Bake at 350* for 40-45 minutes. Serve with ice cream or eat alone. Wonderful dessert!!! Recipe can be varied.

 

Story Behind the Recipe: I have traveled the southern states, gaining many recipes from the great southern folks, and only have this ONE recipe from Kentucky; it is delicious, and sinfully simple. You can alter the recipe, with peaches and strawberry soda, or try the apple with coke for a caramel-apple surprise. You cannot go wrong with this.
