Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tubes (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) apple
- 1 cup (shredded) sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 large (beaten) egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for greasing the baking sheet) butter
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and transfer the cooked sausage to a medium mixing bowl to cool slightly.
Add the diced apple, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, and maple syrup to the bowl with the cooked sausage. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined. Set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a circular shape with the short sides of the triangles overlapping to create a ring, leaving an empty circle in the center. The pointed ends of the triangles should be pointing outward, resembling a sunburst pattern.
Spoon the sausage and apple mixture evenly onto the wide ends of the crescent triangles around the ring.
Fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling and tuck them underneath the wide ends of the dough to secure the ring. Some filling may still be visible, which is fine.
Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to encourage a golden, shiny finish. If desired, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake the breakfast ring in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with additional maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
