Enjoy a delightful fusion of apple pie and cinnamon rolls. This recipe combines the warm spices of apple pie with the comforting sweetness of cinnamon rolls for a perfect fall treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped peeled apple
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 4 rectangles. Pinch the seams together to form one large rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Scatter the chopped apples over the cinnamon-sugar.
  5. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough.
  6. Cut the roll into 8 equal slices.
  7. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze.
  11. Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.

Notes

  • For a stronger apple flavor, you can use a slightly larger apple or add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Ensure the crescent dough seams are well-pinched to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Adjust the amount of glaze to your preference.
