Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (divided)

Dough

  • 1 tube (226g) crescent rolls

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare filling: In a bowl, combine the light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create the cinnamon sugar mixture for the apples.
  3. Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
  4. Assemble turnovers: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, then top with two apple wedges on each.
  5. Roll dough: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up over the apples and place the turnovers seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush with butter: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining melted butter to ensure a golden, shiny crust.
  7. Bake: Bake the turnovers in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Make glaze: While the turnovers bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Finish and serve: Once cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the warm turnovers. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, flaky dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute the apple with pears or peaches for a different fruit variation.
  • For a thicker filling, add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the cinnamon sugar mixture to thicken juices released by the apples.
  • If you want a richer glaze, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the glaze and beat until smooth.
  • Use refrigerated crescent rolls for convenience; fresh dough will require a longer baking time.
  • Serve turnovers warm for best flavor and texture.
