Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
- Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
- Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

APPLES WITH HONEY AND CRUSHED WALNUTS
Tradition is a beautiful thing, unless it requires you to make something you don't enjoy making or eating. For me, that's charoset. Classically, it's an apple-walnut mixture (occasionally including a touch of cinnamon or dried fruit, or a combination) that ranges from chunky-relish to chunky-paste, and it's never been my favorite thing on the table. I've always wanted it tangier, crunchier and, well, I wanted a salad. This is that salad. It's meant to be more acidic than sweet, but adjust with vinegar and honey as needed to suit your preference. A note: Nearly everyone who ate this salad said it was their favorite part of the whole meal, which bruised my matzo ball ego, but I thought you should know.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread walnuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. (You can also do this in a toaster oven.) Let cool. Using your hands or a knife if you like, crush or finely chop walnuts. Set aside.
- Thinly slice apples (with a mandoline or a sharp knife) any way you please. (Rounds are excellent if you don't mind eating the edible core.) Scatter the slices onto a large serving platter or bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar over apples, and season with salt and pepper; give them a little toss and drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey. Taste an apple slice and adjust seasoning with more vinegar or honey, as needed. Sprinkle with walnuts, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, flaky salt and pepper.
Tips:
- For a rich, buttery flavor, use high-quality butter. Unsalted butter is the best choice, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Make sure the butter is cold before you start working with it. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Be sure to work quickly so that the butter doesn't start to melt.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard, or you will flatten the dough.
- If the dough starts to stick to the rolling pin, sprinkle it with a little flour.
- When cutting out the crescents, use a sharp knife. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Space the crescents about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. This will allow them to rise and bake evenly.
- Bake the crescents until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the crescents cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
Conclusion:
Apple walnut crescents are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their flaky pastry, sweet apple filling, and crunchy walnuts, these crescents are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert, give these apple walnut crescents a try. You won't be disappointed!
