    How to make Pillsbury Crescent Rolls Better:

    Pillsbury Crescent Rolls are a type of dough that is often used in savory dishes, such as pigs in a blanket or pizza pockets. However, they can also be used to make sweet and decadent desserts.

    For example, crescent rolls can be filled with fruit preserves or chocolate chips and then baked until golden brown. They can also be rolled into a log, filled with a cream cheese filling, and then sliced and served like a piece of cake.

    My favorite dessert recipe using crescent rolls and apples is Apple Dumplings. It was one of the first dessert recipes shared on the site and it's delicious!

    The possibilities are endless when it comes to using crescent rolls in dessert recipes. So next time you're looking for an easy and tasty dessert, don't forget about the humble crescent roll.

    Tips for Baking Crescent Rolls

    The Pillsbury crescent roll is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. When baking with crescent rolls, it is important to follow these tips:

    • Try not to overload the crescent roll dough with filling. Otherwise, the rolls may not bake evenly or may become too heavy and dense.
    • For best results, fill the rolls just before baking; otherwise the dough could get mushy and not bake properly.
    • Brush them with a beaten egg or milk for a golden, crispy crust.

    Apple Pie Filling

    Don't feel that you have to only use fresh apples when baking with crescent rolls. You can also make tasty desserts using 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.
