Easy Apple Bundles

I have recently seen recipes for appletarts made from strips of pie dough or crescent rolls so here is my variation.  These make up in minutes and bake for 13 minutes; you can eat them warm or reheat for 10 seconds in the microwave.

You need:
1 tube of crescent rolls
1/2  stick of butter, melted
1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut into 8 wedges
Mixture of 1 tsp cinammon and 1/4 cup sugar

 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  If using a convection oven, I use 365 degrees. So first I mix 1 teaspoon of cinammon and 1/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl.  If you use a smaller bowl it is easier to roll the bundle and not chase the sugar mixture around a large plate.  Next melt the butter in a microwave safe dish. I roughly peel the apple and then I use an apple wedge tool that cores and cuts the wedges all at the same time. Now I am ready to open the crescent roll tube.  Take each

triangle and lay a wedge on the wide end and then roll it up. 

 

Now take the bundle and roll it in the melted butter and next dip lightly in the sugar/cinammon mixture. I have successfully used Splenda Baking Mix in place of sugar. Place the bundles on a cookie sheet; I always use parchment paper because the sugar tends to carmelize and over brown when placed on the sheet directly. 

 



 

Place the apple bundles in the preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes.  Serve warm or reheat in microwave for 10 seconds when ready to serve.  Great when served with with vanilla bean ice cream!
