Make this NOW. I'm usually not very demanding, but oh my goodness this is GOOD. We love crescent roll recipes. There is just so much you can do with them. To think that for the longest time we just baked them up and spread some butter on them. While they are very good that way, it doesn't take much time or imagination to dress up a crescent. In the past we have made Pepperoni Pizza Crescents and Crescent Rolls with Chocolate Chips and Peanut Butter and they were a huge hit. I was in the mood for something sweet and thought we would try making Apple Crescents. Think of them as an easy apple pie. I love apple pie and crescents so how could this be wrong? Check out how easy they are to make - even with kids!
Apple Crescents
You will need:
- Tube of crescent rolls
- Apple pie filling
- Caramel sauce
- Toaster oven
Food Fun Friday - Apple Crescents
Ingredients
- 8 crescent rolls
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 8 teaspoon Caramel Syrup

- Roll from large end of the crescent to the point of the triangle.
- Pinch edges of crescent together.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Remove from oven and top each crescent with 1 teaspoon of caramel syrup.

DO YOUR KIDS LOVE COOKING
I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry and cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.
Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all-in-one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it's perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!
A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month!
Each kit features a new culinary theme! You'll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together. Find out more here.

Sounds great! Deffinately going to make these! Another great way to use crescents is rolling up a fun size snicker bar in the crescent. Whilbarney are baking mix up some powdered sugar icing & drizzle over them when finished!

Just made these....so yummy and easy! My family loved them! Thanks 😉

This is soooooo unhealthy! Come on now - baked apples with a LITTLE brown sugar and cinnamon would be a much healthier alternative. It's up to us to teach our kids about good nutrition.

I tried making these last night in preparation for our family reunion. I dipped the raw crescents in sugar then used peach pie filling (as that is all I had in my pantry). Mine came out flat instead of fluffy and flakey. Is this because of the sugar on the outside or could I have used too much "goo" from the pie filling?

Then DONT make them! Seriously just dont comment next time!
April Cameron
Made these yesterday for thanksgiving.. My crescents were nearly burnt on the bottom but the dough was still gooey. I was disappointed, but the guys loved them & ate them up so I guess that's all that matters. 'll def try it again. But any ideas on what to do with all the leftover pie filling??
