Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 oz. refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 5 oz. softened cream cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chopped apples from apple pie filling
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and grease standard muffin pan with baking spray, set aside. This recipe makes 8 muffins.
  • In a shallow dish stir ¼ cup sugar and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, set aside.
  • To make the cream cheese filling in a bowl stir together cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, and vanilla.
  • Then, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles. Seal the perforation between the triangles and cut each rectangle in half to make 8 squares.
  • Place a square of dough on your palm, gently stretch the dough, drop one heaping tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center, then add 1 tablespoon of chopped apples.  Pick up the corner of the dough and pinch them together. Seal all sides and roll it gently between your palms to make the ball.
  • Brush generously with melted butter, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place in a pan (seal side down). Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until the tops get nice golden-brown color. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
