Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup crushed walnuts
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle caffeinated citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew®)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9×13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don’t separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
- Mix 1/2 cup white sugar
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
- crushed walnuts
- and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough lengthwise
- so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
- Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely
- about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle
- about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly
- 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.
