🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 large Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tube Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.

3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Set aside.

4. In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

5. On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.

6. Spread a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle.

7. Place a spoonful of the spiced apple mixture on top of the cream cheese.

8. Carefully roll the dough from the wider end to the tip, encasing the filling inside. Pinch any open edges to seal the dumpling.

9. Place the prepared dumplings onto the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

10. Brush the tops of the dumplings with melted butter for a golden, flaky finish.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.

12. Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

13. Serve warm and enjoy!
