Ingredients

• 16 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, melted)
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk (or cream)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a rectangle shape on the parchment-lined baking sheet, overlapping the edges slightly to form a solid base. Press the seams together to seal.

Step 4

Spoon the apple mixture evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough on either side.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut 1-inch strips along both sides of the dough, stopping at the apple filling. Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided look.

Step 6

Brush the braided loaf with the melted butter to enhance browning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Step 8

While the loaf cools, prepare the maple glaze by whisking together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once the loaf has cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the maple glaze generously over the top.

Step 10

Slice and serve while warm. Enjoy!
