Description

Apple Pie Crescent Muffins combine the classic flavors of apple pie with the convenience of crescent roll dough, featuring a flaky, buttery exterior and a warm, spiced apple filling for a delicious treat perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour; toss to coat and set aside.
  2. Unroll crescent dough on a clean surface and separate into triangles; place on a lined or greased baking sheet with space between.
  3. Place 1-2 tablespoons of apple mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll from wide end to tip, sealing seams by pinching tightly.
  4. Optional: whisk egg and brush over muffins for a golden finish. Sprinkle brown sugar on top.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free butter or margarine to make it dairy-free.
  • Replace crescent dough with gluten-free dough for a gluten-free option.
  • Try pears or mix apples and pears for a twist.
  • Add dried cranberries for tartness.
  • Experiment with spices like ginger or cloves for varied flavors.
