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.
• Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
• Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

What Home Cooks are Saying About Our Crock Pot Apple Dumplings

Alice P. says: “Love this recipe.”

Susan N. says: “Love it, so good”

Diane says: “…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.”

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
• 1.5 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
