Country Fresh Apple Crescent Casserole

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons sugar

1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon

One 8-ounce can Pillsbury refrigerated quick crescent dinner rolls

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 slices (also is delightful with blueberries - frozen or fresh - no cinnamon)

Sauce:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 Tablespoon almond extract or amaretto

1 egg

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Cinnamon

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; blend well. Separate dough into 8 triangles; sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over each. Gently press sugar mixture into each triangle, flattening each slightly. Place apple slice on wide end of each triangle; tuck in edges around apple slice. Roll up and place, tip side down, in ungreased 9-inch round baking dish or pie pan, placing long side of 7 filled crescents around outside edge of dish and 1 in center. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Sauce: In a small bowl using wire whisk, combine 1/2 cup sugar, whipping cream, almond extract, and egg until well blended. Spoon sauce mixture evenly over partially baked rolls. Sprinkle with almonds and cinnamon. Bake an additional 13 to 18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cover top of pan with foil during last 5 minutes of baking time if necessary to prevent excessive browning. Serve warm.

Serves: 8
