Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the diced apple, dried cranberries, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly coat the fruit with the sugar and cinnamon.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple-cranberry filling at the wide end of each triangle.
Carefully roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and tucking the edges slightly to form a crescent shape.
Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of each crescent cookie with melted butter to help them brown and become flaky during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
