Apple Dumplings & Mtn Dew

     I first had this recipe at one of our small group meetings. The friend who made it tortured us as we tried to guess the addictive ingredient that helped make this taste so good. While her husband wasn't giving in, she finally caved and told us there was Mountain Dew poured over the top before the dumplings were cooked. Yes, Mountain Dew! I think it must make the sauce crystalize or something. But one thing I do know, is that this is a delicious treat.
     I made this for a breakfast pitch in and I had no leftovers. You could also make this for dessert or take them to a dinner party, too.
