How to Make Apple Dumplings in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
I first had this recipe at a birthday celebration at a place that I worked. They were so delicious that I just had to have the recipe! And ever since, if I bring them once to a gathering, I am told that I have to bring them from then on out!
So you may be asking, “Why make this in a crock pot?” Well, after I made these for yet another family Thanksgiving, I happen to see my Casserole Crock Pot and couldn’t help but want to make them in it! Plus, I love that I can keep them warm…which is how the taste the bestest! 🙂
Now there is something that we need to discuss. The recipe calls for butter. Make sure you use butter, not margarine. This is just one of those recipes you want to use butter in. It is fantastic!
Crock Pot Apple Dumplings Notes
- I used my Crock Pot Casserole Crock Slow Cooker. I have never made this in anything other than a 9×13 pan, so if you don’t have a casserole crock yet…I HIGHLY recommend getting one…or until then you can try out the oven version here.

Print Pin RatePrep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 5 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 24 dumplings
Calories: 233kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cans crescent rolls (24 crescent rolls)
- 3 apples peeled, cored and sliced
- 12 oz can Mountain Dew or equivalent...I use Kroger's Citrus Drop
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Spray your crock with cooking spray
- Take one slice of apple and wrap on crescent roll around the apple slice starting with the small end of the cresent roll and place in your crock
- Repeat the above step for all of your crescent rolls (I usually have a few apple slices left over to munch on since my slicer cuts each apple into 10 pieces and there are only 8 rolls in each can)
- Slice your butter into a microwave safe bowl with your sugar and cinnamon
- Heat in your microwave until your butter is melted (about a minute in my microwave) and mix well
- Pour your mixture on top of all your dumplings
- Pour your can of Mountain Dew around the edges and in between the rows of dumplings (if you pour it on top of the dumplings, then the cinnamon sugar mixture won't stay on top!)
- Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours

I have been making these apple dumplings for several years in the oven, and I was so very glad to see your crock pot version. I tried it last week in my casserole crock pot and I am making them again today in the crock pot. I love it because it is just as good as, or better, than in the oven, and you don’t have to watch it. It also leaves your oven free for other things and you don’t have to worry about keeping your dessert warm (which is the best way to serve these dumplings). Thanks so much for your site with lots of ideas for using “crocks”. My go-to soda to use that the family loves is SunDrop. I’m not sure about availability outside of the Southeast.
I’m so glad to hear that Diane! We love this recipe too!
So glad to see another recipe for the casserole crock pot. I saw it on your site bought it & am having a heck of a time adapting recipes for it lol. My real question on this recipe is can I substitute some other soda for the mountain dew? Allergies wont let us use it here.
Hi Jaydee!
You can substitute 7Up or an equivalent. I haven’t tried it, but I think it would work just the same. Also, have you seen our post about recipes for your casserole crock? The link is below. Enjoy!

This is just how I make my apple dumplings in the oven. SO good! What an awesome idea to make them in the crockpot. I always reduce the amount of butter and sugar, but know they are best with the full amount. Thanks for sharing!
