Apple Pie Crescent Rolls
In our home Fall begins on September 1st regardless of the hot temperatures here in the hot & humid Georgia. Now that September has arrived, I am making ALLLLLL the cozy apple recipes!
First up this season we have these easy and delicious Apple Pie Crescent Rolls. When I say easy, I mean REALLY, REALLY easy. They only require a few basic ingredients and taste like a crisp, Fall day at the apple orchard.
Speaking of apple orchard, this is just one of many apple recipes to come this season. One of our favorite Fall traditions is going to the apple orchards in North Georgia each year and I love making recipes from the fresh apples that we pick. I will most definitely be making more batches of these with apples from the orchard!
This can be a fun snack to make with the kiddos or a quick and easy dessert to take to Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving. I have a feeling these will become a popular football watching treat in our house.
You can customize these by adding crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture. I also recommend eating warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
