Easy Apple Dumplings

First off, the picture does not do this dish justice! My mom has been raving about this simple apple dumpling recipe and has already made it at least four times in the past month. She took it to a meeting at church and someone stopped the meeting to ask who made it and could she get the recipe. It's that good! The ingredients are a bit odd (i.e. a can of Mountain Dew?!) but they marry to make the most delicious of unions!
