Ingredients

• 8 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the diced apple, dried cranberries, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly coat the fruit with the sugar and cinnamon.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4

Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple-cranberry filling at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 5

Carefully roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and tucking the edges slightly to form a crescent shape.

Step 6

Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Brush the tops of each crescent cookie with melted butter to help them brown and become flaky during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
