I like that these are make with fresh apple instead of canned pie filling. You certainly can use canned filling if you like but fresh apple is so much better and gives you a much nicer flavor. Cutting up the fresh apple should only take a few extra minutes and is so worth the little bit of extra time. 

 

 

 

 

Crescent rolls come in handy in so many ways these days. When I think that for years all we did was bake them and spread butter on them and used them as bread! WOW where we missing out. Now they are used for so many sweet and savory dishes.

Core and slice apples. Place in mixing bowl and toss together with remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture. Pour lemon juice over apples and toss again. Set aside for about 10 minutes to allow apples to begin breaking down.

Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles.

Place sliced apples on large end of triangle. Top with on unwrapped caramel and carefully roll up, keeping the apples inside the dough.

 Sprinkle crescents with remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Roll from large end of the crescent to the point of the triangle.

Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven. In a small bowl, add remaining caramels and 1 teaspoon water. Microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring well between each cycle, until melted. Add additional water if needed to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle caramel over each crescent and serve warm.
