Ingredients
  • 1 Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Sheet
  • 3 tart red apples
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 – 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • ½ Cup water
  • Caramel bits (optional)
  • Powdered Sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Core the apples and slice in half. Slice the apples as thin as you can get them.
  2. In a small bowl mix the lemon juice and water together. Place your sliced apples in the lemon juice mixture and give them a toss. Let them sit for 10 – 15 minutes.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place your apples in a single layer on your baking sheet. Sprinkle the apples with sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until soft and pliable.
  5. While your apples are baking, roll out your crescent roll sheet on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin to thin it out just a little bit.
  6. Using a cookie cutter cut 12 circles. Don’t have a circle cookie cutter? A glass or a jar lid will work just fine.
  7. Place your dough circles into un-greased muffin tins. Set aside.
  8. Working on a clean piece of parchment paper, lay out 6 slices of the soften apples. Overlap them about 2 inches on top of each other. Take a little extra time to make sure the flat edges are aligned evenly.
  9. Once the apple slices are rolled together, place them in your muffin tin flat side down. Adjust the slices if needed to form the perfect rose shape.
  10. Once all 12 roses have been made, sprinkle the apples with caramel bits if you choose to do so.
  11. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until the crescent pastry is light golden brown.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm or cold.
