Ingredients
Crescent Rolls
- 1 tube crescent rolls (8 count)
Apple Mixture
- 1 small apple, thinly sliced into 8 pieces (Granny Smith recommended)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (vegan butter optional)
Spice and Sugar Mix
- ¼ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of allspice
Topping
- Cane sugar (for sprinkling)
- Dash of cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Lay out each crescent roll on a clean, flat surface, ready for filling and rolling.
- Coat the Apple Slices: In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the thin apple slices, gently tossing to ensure each slice is well coated.
- Mix Sugar and Spices: In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Then evenly sprinkle this sugar-spice mixture over each crescent roll, pressing it down with your hand so it adheres well to the dough.
- Add Apples and Roll: Place one buttered apple slice at the wide end of each crescent roll. Carefully roll up each crescent roll as per usual crescent roll folding methods, enclosing the apple inside.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush any remaining melted butter from the apple bowl over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle each with cane sugar and a dash of cinnamon for extra sweetness and crunch.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Granny Smith apples are recommended for their tartness which balances the sweetness.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
- Use vegan butter to make this recipe plant-based.
- For extra crispiness, sprinkle cane sugar on top before baking.
- Serve warm for the best taste experience.
