Ingredients
1 small Granny Smith apple
1 tube (8 oz) crescent rolls
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/4 tsp apple pie spice
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice in a small bowl.
Melt the butter in a shallow dish, then toss apple slices in the butter to coat.
Arrange crescent roll triangles on the baking sheet with the wide side at the bottom.
Distribute the sugar mixture evenly across each triangle.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over each triangle for added texture.
Place one apple slice at the wide end of each triangle and wrap the dough snugly, moving towards the pointed end.
Sprinkle the remaining apple pie spice over the tops.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the crescent roll dough is chilled before handling for easier wrapping. You can substitute Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp for a sweeter profile, and walnuts make a great replacement for pecans if preferred.
