Expert Tips

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.
