Description
Apple Pie Crescent Muffins is a warm, gooey treat wrapped in flaky dough—cinnamon-spiced, effortlessly baked, and perfect for cozy cravings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup apple pie filling, chopped
- 2½ tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese with 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles, pressing the perforations to seal. Cut each rectangle in half to make 8 squares.
- Place a dough square in your hand and gently stretch it. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of chopped apple filling into the center.
- Pull the corners of the dough up over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a rough ball.
- Brush each ball generously with melted butter, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place seam-side down in the muffin tin.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use homemade or store-bought apple pie filling depending on your preference.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container and reheated before serving.
