Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 2 medium apples granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a pizza stone.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples, nuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well and set aside.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the wider ends overlapping slightly in the center to form a ring and the pointed ends facing outward.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the wide part of the crescent dough, leaving the tips clean.
Carefully fold the pointed ends of the dough over the apple mixture and tuck them under the center of the ring to secure.
Press the overlapping sections of dough in the center together to seal the ring. Adjust as needed to ensure the filling is fully enclosed.
Bake the ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the ring is baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the ring from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastry.
Slice and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
