Equipment

Ingredients 

  • ¼ cup (59 ml) water
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 granny smith apple diced into small cubes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • One can of crescent rolls

For the cream cheese glaze

  • 2 ounces (57 g) plain cream cheese room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (40 g) confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F (191 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, granulated sugar, granny smith apple, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to coat well and let simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the apples are tender.
    1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 granny smith apple, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Mix together cornstarch and water until no more lumps remain. Pour into apple mixture and stir to incorporate. Let mixture thicken, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
    1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons water
  • Open the Pillsbury® crescent rolls packaging and lay the 8 triangles onto the baking sheet.

  • Using a tablespoon, spoon the filling onto the widest part of the dough then gently roll it up, pinching the sides of the dough together. It's okay if some of the filling falls out, just push it back in. Repeat for the other rolls.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside.
  • Remove and let cool while you make the cream cheese glaze.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and milk.

  • Place the glaze into a small plastic bag then snip one corner. Generously glaze the top of the rolls. You can use more for dipping, if desired.
