Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Apple Crescent Rolls featuring crisp apples wrapped in buttery, cinnamon-sugar crescent dough. Perfect as a warm breakfast treat or a cozy dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 1 crisp apple sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • Stevia equivalent to 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 tube of crescent rolls
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Bake Apples: Arrange the sliced apples on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to soften and slightly caramelize them.
  3. Mix Sugar Mixture: While apples bake, combine the brown sugar, coconut sugar, stevia, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Roll out the crescent rolls onto a clean surface. Lightly brush each piece with melted vegan butter and sprinkle evenly with the sugar-cinnamon mixture for sweetness and flavor.
  5. Assemble Rolls: Place a slice of baked apple on each crescent roll piece and roll it up carefully. Brush the tops with additional melted vegan butter and sprinkle more sugar mixture for a crunchy topping.
  6. Bake Rolls: Place the assembled crescent rolls onto the baking sheet and bake according to the crescent roll package instructions, approximately 9 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.

Notes

  • Choose a crisp and flavorful apple variety like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best results.
  • Bake in the middle rack of the oven to ensure even heat distribution and consistent baking.
  • Slice the apples thinly and evenly to ensure they soften uniformly during baking.
  • Serve the cinnamon apple crescent rolls warm to enjoy the full burst of flavor and melty texture.
