Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 5 Granny Smith apples peeled, sliced, and cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup water
- ⅔ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet or baking stone by lining with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat add apples, lemon juice, and water. Cook until the apples begin to soften; about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Combine dry ingredients. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk together well.
- Add the sugar mixture to the skillet and toss the apples to coat. Cook until the sugar syrup thickens; about 2 to 3 minutes. Stirring often.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Open the tubes of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. On the prepared baking sheet create a ring with the crescent rolls by arranging triangles in ring so wide sides of triangles form a circle in the center. Dough will overlap and will look like the sun. Press down the crescents where they overlap.
- Spoon the apples onto the overlapping crescent dough in a circle.
- Place the points of the crescent rolls over the apple filing and tuck under bottom of dough to secure it.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
- Slice and serve warm.
