Apple Crescent Surprise

My kids eat apples like crazy, but occasionally we end up with a few left at the bottom of the fruit bowl that have seen better days. Rather than throw them away, I use them to make these delicious pastry treats. I find the ingredients for this dessert are always in my house. I keep the crescent rolls in the refrigerator since I like to have them on hand in case I get unexpected company and can throw together this.

  INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cans crescent rolls
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored (I use whatever I have in the house)
  • 2 sticks butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 can (12 oz) ginger ale
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut each apple into 8 wedges.
  3. Open crescent rolls, place apple wedge in each one. Roll up.
  4. Place in 9 x 13 pan.
  5. Melt butter, add sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Pour over crescent rolls.
  7. Pour ginger ale on top.
  8. Bake 45 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    Difficulty: Easy
    Time: 10 minutes prep, 45 minutes baking

      1. The ginger ale helps to give it a glazed appearance and taste. I have never tried doing it without, but if you do-let us know what you think.
