Description

These Apple Crescent Rolls are a delightful, warm treat featuring crisp apple slices wrapped in flaky crescent dough, spiced with cinnamon and sugar, and finished with melted vegan butter. Perfect for a sweet breakfast or a comforting dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 crisp apple sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, and Stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Bake Apples: Arrange the sliced apples on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to soften them slightly and enhance their natural sweetness.
  3. Mix Sugar and Spices: While the apples bake, combine the brown sugar, coconut sugar, Stevia, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl to create a flavorful spice mixture.
  4. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Roll out the crescent dough and lightly brush each piece with melted vegan butter, then sprinkle evenly with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  5. Assemble Rolls: Place a baked apple slice onto each crescent dough piece, then roll them up, brush the tops with more vegan butter, and sprinkle additional sugar mixture on top for a sweet finish.
  6. Bake Crescent Rolls: Bake the rolls according to the crescent roll package instructions, usually about 9 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.

Notes

  • Use a crisp and flavorful apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best taste and texture.
  • Bake the apples in the middle of the oven to ensure even heat distribution.
  • Slice apples thinly and uniformly to ensure they bake evenly within the rolls.
  • Serve the crescent rolls warm to enjoy their full cinnamon apple flavor and flaky texture.
