Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
3/4 cup canned apple pie filling, chopped

Make With

Pillsbury Crescents

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
2

In small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. In another small bowl, mix cream cheese, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the milk.
3

Unroll crescent dough onto work surface; press perforations to seal. Cut dough into 8 squares. Cut each of the 8 squares into 5 rows by 4 rows to make 20 mini squares each.
4

Add 20 squares of crescent dough to bottoms and halfway up sides of muffin cups.
5

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar on top of crescent dough in each. Layer with about 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture, a rounded tablespoon of pie filling, and top with another 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6

Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Serve warm.

To chop apple pie filling before using in recipe: measure apple pie filling, spoon onto cutting board, and chop apple slices using sharp knife.

For easier cutting, use a pizza cutter to cut dough into strips and squares.
tip 3
Slide a small metal spatula or knife around edges of baked monkey breads for easier removal from pan.
