Apples are in a custardy base wrapped in crescent roll dough. This dessert is finished off with a brush of melted butter and generous sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

⅓ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup white sugar
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix together the cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar in a cup or small bowl, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of this mixture over the apples, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of sugar with cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the egg until light and fluffy, and then stir in vanilla. Set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough, and place the pieces side by side on a large cookie sheet. Pinch seams together to form one big sheet. Place the apples lengthwise down the center. Use scissors to snip the edges into a fringe with strips about 1 inch wide. Pour the cream cheese filling over the apples, and bring the strips from the side up over the apples in an alternating fashion to cover the filling. Pinch ends closed.
Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. While still hot, brush the top with butter, and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top.

Tips:

Use cold butter or margarine: This will help to keep the pastry flaky.
Work quickly: The more you handle the dough, the tougher it will become.
Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent it from sticking to your work surface.
Roll the dough out evenly: This will help to ensure that the pastry cooks evenly.
Don't overfill the pastries: This will help to prevent them from bursting open.
Bake the pastries until they are golden brown: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
