Ingredients

• 2 packages (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
• 2 medium apples granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a pizza stone.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples, nuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.

Step 4

Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the wider ends overlapping slightly in the center to form a ring and the pointed ends facing outward.

Step 5

Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the wide part of the crescent dough, leaving the tips clean.

Step 6

Carefully fold the pointed ends of the dough over the apple mixture and tuck them under the center of the ring to secure.

Step 7

Press the overlapping sections of dough in the center together to seal the ring. Adjust as needed to ensure the filling is fully enclosed.

Step 8

Bake the ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

While the ring is baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 10

Remove the ring from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastry.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
