Apple pie crescent rolls

I love crescent rolls! You can put just about anything in them, roll 'em up and throw 'em in a pan. Then put them in the oven for baby and me... No, wait. That's patty cake. Crescent rolls, that's what I'm talkin' about.



So, here's one of my favorites to do. These Apple Pie Crescents are light and just the right amount of sweet. And, bonus, prep time is around 10 to 15 minutes (depending on how fast of an apple peeler you are).

Here's what you'll need:
1 can of crescent rolls
2-3 Granny Smith Apples
(I peel the apples, but they're prettier if you leave the skins on.)
4 oz cream cheese
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
Melted butter

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray you pan with non stick spray; even if it's a non stick pan. It helps tremendously with getting the brown sugar off the pan. Lay out you crescent rolls on you baking sheet.


Peel and slice your apples into small quarters. Then trim off the seeds and such that you wouldn't want to chomp on.


Now layer 3 apple slices in the middle of each crescent. They'll come past the edges of the dough, but that's okay.


Slice off about a quarter of inch of cream cheese and lay it on top of the apples. You can use more or less depending on how big a fan you are of cream cheese. I suppose you could also use the spreadable cream cheese if you'd like. I haven't used it before but it's worth a shot if that's what you have.



Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples and cream cheese. It going to fall all over the place and there isn't a thing you can do about it! Bwah ha ha ha!

I tried to be as neat as I could because I was concerned about the brown sugar scorching. Good news is they're not in the oven long enough for that to happen.



Bring the wide part of the crescent roll up over the apples. Then pull the pointed end over lapping the bottom of the roll. At this point you could brush the tops with a little melted butter. It helps them brown a little. But that's up to you.

Bake for 10-12 minutes; until browned. Here's where you can put your personal spin on these. You can sprinkle with brown sugar or confectioners sugar. They're also yummy with a glaze.



There you have it a crescent incased apple pie. Simple and delicious. Plus they make you look like you know what you're doing. Yay! Remember to share.
