🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 1 package (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough

📝 Instructions

11 steps

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

2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles on a clean work surface.

3. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to evenly coat the raisins.

4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the raisin mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.

5. Carefully roll the crescent dough from the wide end to the pointed tip, encasing the raisin mixture inside. Tuck the tips slightly underneath the crescent to secure the roll.

6. Brush each rolled crescent lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush.

7. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one to expand during baking.

8. Brush the tops of the crescents with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

9. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar over each crescent for added sweetness and crunch.

10. Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

11. Remove from the oven and allow the crescents to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
