Grease an 8&#8243; x 8&#8243; baking pan to prepare it for the apple pies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Apples<\/strong>: Wash and peel the apple, then cut it into 8-10 wedges. Additionally, slice the apple peel into thin strips and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Dough<\/strong>: Unroll the Crescent Pillsbury dough and separate it into triangles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrap the Apples<\/strong>: Take each apple wedge and wrap it with a crescent-roll dough, starting from the wide end. Ensure the apple is fully covered and pinch the dough to seal it. Pro tip: Drying the apple slices slightly before wrapping them makes the process easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Cinnamon Mixture<\/strong>: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and cinnamon, then whisk until well combined. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly before removing it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assemble the Pies<\/strong>: Place the wrapped apple dumplings in the greased baking dish. Pour the cinnamon mixture evenly over the apple pies, ensuring they are well coated. Finally, pour the 7-Up over the dumplings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake to Perfection<\/strong>: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown and bubbling with deliciousness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve and Enjoy<\/strong>: Once baked, remove the apple pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of tender apples, flaky crust, and cinnamon-infused sweetness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Pioneering apple pies offer a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining simplicity with innovation.

While Fuji apples are recommended for their tartness, you can use any apple variety you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I substitute the 7-Up with another soda?<\/strong><br>Yes, you can substitute 7-Up with a similar lemon-lime soda or even ginger ale for a slightly different flavor profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I make these apple pies ahead of time?<\/strong><br>While they are best served fresh from the oven, you can prepare them ahead of time and reheat them before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I freeze leftover apple pies?<\/strong><br>Yes, you can freeze the apple pies for future enjoyment.
