How to Make Spicy Raisin Crescents
- Combine 1 cup raisins and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the following ingredients and stir to combine: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely until just warm to the touch. Avoid using the filling while it is too hot, as this will cause the crescent roll dough to cook prematurely.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Open and carefully unroll the package of crescent roll dough. Separate the triangles.
- Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cooled raisin filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, leaving a small border on all sides.
- Starting from the wide end, tightly roll up each crescent into a crescent shape.
- Place the crescents onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with ½ teaspoon of water.
- Gently brush the egg wash over the tops of the crescents.
- Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
