Apple Crescent Rolls are a delightful, quick, and easy-to-make pastry perfect for any occasion. Combining the warm, spiced flavors of apples and cinnamon with the buttery flakiness of crescent roll dough, these treats capture the essence of homemade apple pie in a portable format. They’re great for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack, and can be baked in the oven or even in an air fryer for added convenience.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup apple pie filling (or homemade, thickened apple filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  3. Add Filling: Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling onto the wide end of each triangle. If the apple slices are too large, chop them into smaller pieces.
  4. Roll: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top for added flavor and sweetness.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Top with powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a simple glaze, if desired.

Conclusion

These apple crescent rolls are the perfect balance of simplicity and flavor, delivering a comforting homemade treat with minimal effort. Customize them with caramel, cream cheese, or nutty toppings to suit your taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze them for longer storage.
