Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 cup finely chopped peeled apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Pinch the seams together to form a rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.
- Sprinkle the chopped apples evenly over the butter mixture.
- Carefully roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the short sides. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the roll into 8 equal slices.
- Place the slices cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired drizzling consistency.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the glaze.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of apples.
- Ensure apples are finely chopped so they distribute evenly.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference.
