Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 1 apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 tube (226g) crescent rolls

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and ground cinnamon until well mixed to create a sweet, cinnamon-spiced filling.
  3. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles, ready for filling.
  4. Assemble Turnovers: Spoon about one tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, then top each with two apple wedges for a balanced filling.
  5. Roll Dough: Starting at the wide end, roll up each crescent dough triangle firmly around the apple filling and place the rolled turnovers onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining melted butter to enhance browning and flavor while baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Make Glaze & Drizzle: While the turnovers are cooling slightly, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a smooth glaze, then drizzle it over the warm turnovers for added sweetness and flavor.
  9. Serve: Serve the apple turnovers warm to enjoy the perfect balance of flaky crust, tender cinnamon apples, and sweet glaze.

Notes

  • Using tart apples like Granny Smith will provide a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Make sure to seal the edges of the dough well to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon mixture for extra warmth and spice.
  • These turnovers are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
  • If you want a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crescent roll dough if available.
