Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Croissants with Apples, also called Crescent Roll Apple Dumplings 🍎🥐✨.
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 dumplings)
- 1 can Crescent Roll Dough
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- Optional: ¼ tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Apple Filling
- In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg.
- Brush or toss apple wedges lightly with melted butter.
3. Wrap Apples
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Place an apple wedge near the wide end of each triangle.
- Sprinkle a bit of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Roll the triangle around the apple wedge, tucking the ends underneath.
4. Add Topping
- Brush the outside with remaining butter.
- Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon-sugar if desired.
5. Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until croissants are golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
6. Serve
- Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
✅ Tips
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Jonathan apples to hold their shape.
- For extra gooeyness, place a small cube of cream cheese inside with the apple wedge.
- Can also make mini versions for parties by cutting dough triangles smaller.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan version where the apple dumplings bake in a simple syrup glaze, making them extra sweet and saucy without extra steps.
Do you want me to share that version?
