Crescent Roll Apple Turnovers

Warm, flaky turnovers filled with spiced apples, perfect for brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 can crescent rolls (store-bought)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • A splash of milk (to thin the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, mix the diced apples with the granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate the individual triangles, pressing any perforations to seal seams.
  4. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking the point underneath.
  6. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Optional: Whisk powdered sugar with a bit of milk and drizzle over warm turnovers before serving.

Notes

For extra texture, add a tablespoon of chopped nuts to the filling. For less sugar, skip the glaze and reduce the granulated sugar.
