Blueberry Crescent Rolls

Easy-to-make blueberry crescent rolls look as impressive as they taste. Blueberry pie filling wrapped up in flaky refrigerator crescent roll dough then topped with a sweet lemon glaze.

The perfect crescent roll recipe that's perfect for breakfast or a light snack in the middle of the day.

What I love most about this crescent roll dessert is how easily you could serve them for a holiday breakfast or brunch. Everyone loves something sweet after a breakfast celebration!

Blueberry crescent rolls also make a great option for an on-the-go fast breakfast. Prepare them at the beginning of the week and easily reheat all week long...if they last more than a day!

This recipe pairs well with homemade vanilla ice cream if you're serving it as an easy dessert.

Main Ingredients Needed

Exact measurements are listed below in the recipe card. Make sure you scroll down to print and save the recipe for later!

• Refrigerator Crescent Rolls
• Blueberry Pie Filling
• Powdered Sugar - for the glaze
• Lemon Juice - of course fresh is always best, but I didn't have fresh lemons in the house and used bottled and it still tasted delicious.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | Prep the Rolls

• Open the crescent roll can and separate the rolls into triangles.
• Lay them flat on a piece of parchment paper while you open the can of blueberry pie filling.
• Add a heaping tablespoon on top of each crescent roll triangle. Spread the mixture on top being careful not to go too close to the edge of the crescent rolls.

Step 2 | How to Roll Up Crescent Rolls

• Beginning at the larger end, start rolling up the crescent rolls.
• Try your best to pinch and tuck the ends together so the blueberry filling doesn't seep out while baking.
• A little should be okay like I have here.
• Place the crescent rolls on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.

Step 3 | Brush with Egg White

• Place the crescent rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Brush each crescent roll with the egg white.
• This will help give the rolls a nice shiny look.

Step 4 | How Long to Bake Crescent Rolls

• Bake in a 375°F degree preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Set them aside for a few minutes to cool while you prepare the glaze.

Step 5 | Add the Glaze

• Combine the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Drizzle on top of the slightly cooled crescent rolls.
