To give your apple dumplings a sweet soda spin, start with picking the right apples for the job. You'll want to choose firmer apples so they'll withstand the long cooking time without becoming overly mushy. You'll also want to opt for an apple with a more tart flavor profile, as there will be plenty of excess sugar present in the Mountain Dew and sugary filling. Generally, a variety like Granny Smith apples will fit the bill the best.
Next, you'll pick your dumpling dough. If you're going the store-bought route, many bakers like to wrap their sugared apple wedges in a buttery crescent roll dough. However, some opt for the more crisp option of store-bought pie dough. (You can also make your own dumpling dough — it's up to you.)
Once you've sugared and wrapped up your apple dumplings, you'll place them in a baking dish and pour in that crucial soda. About 3/4 cup of Mountain Dew should be enough to steam 8 large or 16 small dumplings; if you feel like experimenting with even more flavors, other citrus sodas — like 7-Up, Sprite, or Squirt — can work just as nicely here. Bake your dumplings at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes and serve piping hot, preferably with a generous scoop of ice cream. One taste, and you may never use anything else for your dumpling poaching liquid again!
