OK, since I didn’t put a recipe in my “doater” the other day, and even if it is only required in a rant, this one is too good to not share. My friend shared this with me when we went to OR last month. She told me that she makes it when they go with their camping club, and everyone loves it. She started telling me the recipe, and I told her she had me until the Mountain Dew! But it was really good.
My Sister told me a story that concerns Mountain Dew…she lived in WV for several years and still has friends there, several of whom are teachers. One of them, Jane, told her that every day about 10am a boy would come up to her during class and tell her his stomach hurt and he needed to go to the nurse. She would send him down to the nurse’s office and he would get some crackers and a 7UP and lie down for a few minutes. Then he would be fine. This went on for a while, then the nurse told Jane that the boy was not sick, he was hungry. Apparently he was not eating breakfast. So the nurse called the boy’s Mother and told her what was going on and told her she needed to make sure he had breakfast before he came to school. A few days later the boy told Jane he was sick and needed to go to the nurse. Jane told him to sit down and wait a while, it was almost lunch time. The boy went home and told his Mother that teacher would not let him go to the nurse, she called the nurse and told her, “…and don’t tell me that it was because he had not had breakfast! I gave him a Little Debbie Zebra cake and a Mountain Dew this morning!”
Holy cow can you say sugar high crash??!! So I guess this recipe would make a great all in one breakfast for your kids!
Apple Croissant Dessert
2 tubes 8 ct croissants
2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 8 slices (or use any fruit)
Mix together:
1 1/2 Cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cubes butter, melted
1 12 oz can Mountain Dew
take each croissant apart, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and sugar mixture. Roll a fruit piece in each croissant and place in a greased 13X 9 in pan. Pour all melted butter over the croissants. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture over croissants. Pour Mountain Dew all around each croissant and around the sides of pan. Do not pour over top of croissants!
Bake @ 350 degrees for 40 minutes.






The recipe you posted is DEVINE !!! We went to a get together about a year ago and one lady brought this. It went like wildfire and I only got 1/2 a piece left in the bottom of the dish. Just enough to taste it. Everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. When she told the part about Mountain Dew, everyone was completely surprised.
I got her recipe and made it with Diet Sierra Mist and it was still WONDERFUL !!!
The story about the boy and Mountain Dew is so sad. Earlier this year, someone posted a link on here about parents in the Appalachia region and Mountain Dew. Even putting it in their baby bottles. If you google Appalacia + Mountain Dew, there are several links and one network did a segment on it.

I remember seeing a 20/20 episode on Mountain Dew in West Virginia...no lie! The kids teeth are rotten because all they drink is Mountain Dew. The actually call it "Mountain Dew Mouth"!!Mountain Dew even sent a mobile Dental unit to parts of WV to do dental work for free on these kids. Here's a link to an article about it if anyone is interested: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=6863173&page=1&page=1
Your recipe sounds interesting...hmmm...I won't knock it 'til I try it. And I definitely am going to try it.
