Ingredients
- 1 package crescent rolls (store-bought, typically 8 triangles)
- 2 cups diced apples (firm varieties like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting before serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate into triangles along the perforations.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the apple mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, keeping the filling away from the edges.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, pinching the seams and tips to seal well.
- Arrange the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Beat the egg and brush the surface of each turnover.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, swap brown sugar for coconut sugar or use a baking-friendly sugar substitute. Ensure to choose a dairy-free crescent roll if desired.
