Apple Pie Crescents!

I am SO EXCITED for the recipe I am about to bestow to you.

First, I'm going to tell you how good they are. I'm not trying to brag but my stepdad said that they are "the best thing I've ever made."

As if that wasn't good enough for me, he ate three in about two minutes.

But wait, it gets better.

My grandmother was so impressed that she asked me for the recipe. My GRANDMOTHER asked ME for the recipe. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around!?

I hope that you now understand that you need to make these RIGHT NOW.

Yeah, I know you see them. Make them!

And the best part about this post is... these aren't cupcakes!

Have you realized I've only posted cupcake recipes?

Yeah, I did, and I'm sorry. Don't worry, there will definitely be A LOT of non-cupcake recipes... I'm just a little obsessed with making them right now.

But from now on, I'm definitely going to mix up what I make, I promise.

For now, you have these :)

Apple Pie Crescents

(Makes 32 crescents)

Ingredients:

4 cans of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls: Original (8 oz cans)

4 granny smith apples

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

1/2 cup white (granulated) sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup AP flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Butter (room temperature)

1. Preheat oven to 375º F. 

2. Remove the skin from one apple. Dice/mince (mine was a combination of both but you wanted them small enough to fit in the crescent) the apple and put it in a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining three apples. Once two dice/minced apples are in your bowl, mix in the lemon juice. Whenever you add another apple, mix some more. 

3. In a medium sized bowl, mix your sugars, flour, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour your sugar mixture over your apples and thoroughly fold the apples until no powder is visible.

4. On an ungreased cookie tray, roll out your crescents, cut at perforations. On each triangle, spread a little bit of butter (not too little, but not too much, I'd say about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon.) Place a spoonful of the filling onto the bigger end of the triangle and roll up into a crescent. If you put too much on the triangle, the juice will spill out the sides as you're baking. This isn't bad! Just really messy. Also, as you roll your crescents, tuck the innards into the crescent and close up the sides.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown! Enjoy :)
