Watching Soaps and Eating Bon Bons: Dirty Little Secret

Last night Don took the big kids to the high school football game. I wanted to take John Stephen, but he is hard to control these days! Without a stroller I wouldn't have a prayer! And, sadly, the stadium is not stroller friendly! So, after I pouted about being left behind for a few minutes, it occurred to me...John Stephen goes to bed at 7:30...Then I would be ALL ALONE...with NOBODY to clean up after, cook for, or supervise...HMMMM. What would I DO WITH ALL OF THAT FREE TIME?

OK, this is a TOTAL REDNECK recipe! It is not really something you want to serve at an elegant dinner or take to a party. If you have ever made this Apple Dumpling Recipe then...YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK! So I prefer to shroud my preparation of this little dish in secrecy! It's not good for my image!

Ok, so it's easy! Just peel and core 2 Granny Smith Apples,and cut into 8 pieces each. Then roll them up into crescent rolls, and place in a greased casserole dish. Melt 1 cup of butter, and add 1and 1/2 cups sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Pour over the dumplings along with 12 oz of Mountain Dew! (I know, yuk! And, sadly if you buy a 2 liter bottle you will have some rowdy kids for the remainder of the weekend-it is like crack for an 8 year old!)

Then you put it in a 350* oven for 35-45 minutes. I got the recipe off of All Recipes, but it is on a million websites. After putting it in the oven you will want to look around to see if your baby is ok with that bowl on his head!
