Cinnamon-Pecan Apple Dumplings



8 servings

2 tube( 8oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and halved
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Orange sauce
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed, unsalted
2 Tbsp chopped pecans, toasted

unroll crescent dough and use 2 triangle. Wrap two triangle around each apple half so the apple is covert with dough.
Place on greased baking sheet, flat side down
Combine sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over dumplings. Bake at 350 for 23-28 Min,
or until golden brown and apples are tender.

For the sauce:  In a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar; bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10 min or until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat; gradually stir in butter just until blended.  Serve warm with warm dumplings;
sprinkle with pecans

I would double  the sauce, because it is sooo good.  Enjoy
