Ingredients for Apple Crescent Treats
- Granny Smith Apples
- Crescent Rolls
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
How to Make Apple Crescent Treats
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
- Peel, core, and quarter the 3 medium apples.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
- Wrap each apple quarter in a crescent roll triangle, tucking in the edges to seal.
- Arrange the apple crescents in the prepared cake pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the orange juice and sugar to the melted butter.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully pour the sauce evenly over the apple crescents in the cake pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the apples are tender.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
