Why I Love This Recipe
It’s the kind of dessert that hits the spot without hours of prep or cleanup. You’re getting all the flavors of homemade apple pie—sweet cinnamon apples, warm spices, golden pastry—but with just a few minutes of work. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a shortcut that still feels cozy and indulgent?
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup apple pie filling (chunky works best)
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Crescent Dough: Use classic crescent triangles, or try crescent sheets and cut your own for cleaner shapes.
- Apple Pie Filling: You can use homemade or store-bought—just make sure it’s thick, not watery.
- Caramel Sauce: Jarred sauce is fine, but homemade or salted caramel takes this to another level.
- Spices: Add a pinch of clove or allspice for more fall flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix filling: In a bowl, combine apple pie filling, caramel sauce, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Prep dough: Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Assemble: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly toward the point.
- Butter & bake: Place on the prepared sheet and brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Serve warm, drizzled with extra caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar if desired.
Tips for Success
- Chop large apple pieces to help the filling roll up cleanly.
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the dough to burst while baking.
- Brush the sides with butter too for maximum golden crispiness.
- Serve with ice cream for a full pie-style dessert experience.
