These apple pie crescent rolls disappeared in minutes yesterday and I think I will be making another batch this afternoon.  Know why?  Because feeding teenagers during the summer takes a lot of food!  Especially when one of those teens is almost 6’5″ tall with the appetite of a linebacker even though he resembles a string bean.  Seriously…where do my kids put all the food they eat? 

These crescent roll apple pies start with crescent roll dough and are filled with fresh apples, seasoned with cinnamon, and lightly sweetened with a little bit of sugar.  Brush them with melted butter before baking and you will have a delicious fall dessert recipe your whole family will love. 

Apple Pie Crescent Rolls

I have actually been experimenting quite a bit with crescent rolls lately.  I have found that my children love pocket food.  It’s quick and easy and can be grabbed while running out the door for school, sports or just to hang out with friends.

Love apples?  Try a few of these apple desserts:

Crescent rolls can be stuffed with fruit, meat, or cheese for either a savory or sweet snack.  These apple pie crescent rolls are delicious and next time I really want to try something like peaches or fresh berries.  There must be a ton of combinations that would work, right?

I came across similar recipes on Pinterest and they all used a ton of sugar and cinnamon mixture.  I really didn’t feel the need to make these super sweet but adjust the amount you use to your own taste. 

You can also add nuts inside, however, my kids aren’t huge fans of nuts so I left them out.  This is a pretty flexible recipe but I can say that these apple pie crescent rolls did not last long. 

The apples were still plenty crunchy, even after baking, which I prefer.  If you are looking for a softer consistency, you can steam the apples for a few minutes before tucking them into your crescent rolls.

Rolling and Filling The Crescent Rolls

I brushed the outside of the crescent roll after baking with butter and added additional cinnamon and sugar.  Since crescent rolls aren’t sweet, I thought they really needed a little added something to make this more dessert-like. 

To prevent sticking, use this Amazon affiliate link for a silicone baking sheet.  I have been very impressed with mine and nothing sticks to the cookie sheet!

So, I need more filling suggestions so I can try more crescent roll recipes this week!  I am thinking apple, brie, and walnuts.  Pumpkin pie filling and pecans?  Roast beef and blue cheese?  Any other flavor combinations that would make an easy snack idea for kids or adults?
