Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan; add sugar and cinnamon, stirring until combined.
- Pour in Seven-Up and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Roll biscuits thin and wrap each around an apple, sealing the edges.
- Place the wrapped apples in a baking dish or pan.
- Pour the hot butter mixture over the wrapped apples.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender and biscuits are golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth. If you don't have Seven-Up, ginger ale or lemon-lime soda can be good substitutes. Make sure to roll the biscuits thin enough to wrap around the apples without tearing. This will help ensure even cooking and a delightful texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious dessert. They pair beautifully with Blackberry And Cream Pie for a delightful spread. For a complete meal experience, consider serving alongside a light salad or a savory dish like Spinach Balls For A Crowd.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Seven-Up Apple Dumplings should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of apple for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various types of apples depending on your preference. Tart apples like Granny Smith provide a nice contrast to the sweet dumplings, while sweeter varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp will create a sweeter dessert. Just ensure the apples are firm to hold their shape during baking.
What if I don't have biscuits on hand?
If you don't have pre-made biscuits, you can make your own using flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Alternatively, puff pastry can be a great substitute, yielding a flakier texture. Just be sure to adjust the baking time as needed.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dumplings and place them in the baking dish ahead of time. Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply pour the hot butter mixture over the dumplings and bake as instructed.
