Description

Delicious homemade apple turnovers using flaky crescent rolls filled with cinnamon-spiced apples, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large apple, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tube crescent rolls
  • Sugar glaze (powdered sugar and milk mixture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  3. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate each triangle.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sugar-cinnamon mixture onto the wider end of each triangle and add 2 pieces of diced apple.
  5. Roll each triangle tightly from the wider end toward the point, sealing the tip underneath.
  6. Place the rolled turnovers on the baking sheet, seam-side down and brush with remaining melted butter.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Drizzle or brush sugar glaze over warm turnovers and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider using different apple varieties for unique flavors. You can also customize with nuts or caramel.
