What to put in Crescent Rolls

Crescent rolls can be a delicious and easy way to enjoy a variety of different foods. While they are often associated with sweet dishes like cinnamon rolls, or this apple danish recipe, they can also be used for savory meals as well.

Common fillings for savory crescent rolls include ham and cheese, chicken and vegetables, or even just a simple cheese spread. Try my Crescent Roll Ham and Cheese Recipe for dinner this week.

If you're looking for sweet crescent rolls, try different flavors of fruit preserves, cream cheese, or a cinnamon and sugar mixture.

You could also try spreading peanut butter or Nutella Hazelnut Spread on the crescent roll dough, roll up and bake like I do with my Nutella Crescent Rolls.

However, the possibilities are endless when it comes to filling crescent rolls, it just depents on if you're in the mood for something sweet or savory. My favorite way is with Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls.

 Best Apple Pie Filling

Apple pie filling is a type of dessert that typically consists of apples, sugar, spices, and flour. The apples are usually peeled and diced before being simmered in a sugar syrup. Once the apples are soft, they are combined with the flour and spices to create a thick filling.

This filling is a popular choice for both pies and other types of desserts, such as tarts, danishes and crumbles. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | Prepare the Crescent Rolls

• Open the crescent roll dough but keep it in the log form.
• Slice the dough into 8 to 10 equal pieces.
• Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Using a tart tamper tool, gently press to create an indent in each for the apple pie filling.

Step 2 | Add the Apple Pie Filling

• Add about a tablespoon into the center of each crescent circle.

Step 3 | Brush with Egg Wash

• Brush the crescent roll "rim" with a beaten egg white. This will give the danish a shine.

Step 4 | Baking Instructions

• Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven or until the edges are golden brown.
• Allow the danish to cool before drizzling with the powdered sugar glaze.

Recipe Variations

• You can use any pie filling flavor you like. Cherry or lemon would be great too.
• If you want, you can try vanilla or lemon extract instead of the almond extract.

Storage Tips

• Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• They will remain fresh like this for about a day.
• However, as with most crescent roll recipes, they are best eaten fresh.
