Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan. Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla and about 1 t cinnamon, stir, and pour over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

*These are DEVILISHLY delicious!!!! Don't get duped by the picture or name of this dessert! When I was making these, everyone was like...those look weird and that's a weird combonation. And then they all shut up when their mouths were full of the apple goodness! I DON'T like fruit desserts AT ALL, but these are my ALL TIME FAVORITE dessert on this ENTIRE PLANET!!! Don't be skeptical and GO AND MAKE THEM!!!...PS: I think mine look better than this picture...but don't tell the Pioneer Woman!
