Apple Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped walnuts (if using). Toss everything together until the apples are well coated in the sugar and spices.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines. Brush each triangle with melted butter.
4. Spoon a generous amount of the apple mixture onto each triangle of dough, spreading it out evenly. Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
5. Starting at the wider end, roll up each triangle of dough, enclosing the apple filling inside. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
6. Bake the apple rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the apples are tender.
7. While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
8. Once the apple rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls.
9. Serve the apple rolls warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-spiced goodness with a cup of coffee or tea.
These apple rolls are best enjoyed fresh from the oven when they are at their peak of deliciousness. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Simply reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to regain their warmth and gooey texture. So, embrace the comforting flavors of fall with these homemade apple rolls that are sure to become a family favorite in no time!
