Pillsbury Crescents

Ingredients

1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into 8 (1/2-inch) slices
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper, or grease cookie sheet. Set aside.
2

In small bowl, toss apple slices in 1 tablespoon of the melted butter; set aside. Separate dough into 8 triangles.
3

In small bowl, mix brown sugar and apple pie spice. Divide mixture evenly among triangles. Top each triangle with apple slice. Starting at short side of each triangle, wrap dough around apple. Place on cookie sheet. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
4

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crescents are deep golden brown and apples are softened. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Granny Smith apples work best in this recipe because they hold together while baking and deliver a tart-sweet flavor.
For extra garnish, sprinkle apple pie spice on top of your rolled crescents after baking.
Serve warm crescents with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
