Ingredients
Apple Pie Cruffins
- 3 tubes (8 ounces each) crescent roll sheets
- ¾ cup (182 g) apple pie filling, canned or homemade, apples finely chopped, divided
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
Topping
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Cruffins
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, roll out each tube of dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. If using perforated crescent roll dough, be sure to pinch the seams to seal them.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over each sheet of dough.
- Spread approximately ¼ cup of apple pie filling evenly over the top of each buttered dough sheet.
- Starting on the long end of the dough sheet, tightly roll it up into a log.
- Cut the log in half, creating two shorter logs.
- Cut each of those shorter logs in half lengthwise, giving you four sections of dough.
- Repeat these steps with the remaining two sheets of dough, resulting in 12 sections of dough.
- Working with one section of dough at a time, with the layered side facing up, roll it tightly into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking in the end piece of dough.
- Place each roll into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes or until the cruffins are golden brown.
Topping
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Remove rolls from the oven and immediately roll each cruffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy!
