Granny Smith Apple Crescent Pie

The inspiration for this recipe came from a new friend who loves Granny Smith Apple Pie with Blue Bell ice-cream. I haven’t seen Blue Bell ice-cream where I live in VAL, but I still wanted to make an apple pie. I thought I’d make them mini pies so I wouldn’t have to cut a million apples (Yep, I was lazy. So what? Lol. It turned out to be a great thing. *Shrugs*). This recipe is so simple that even the most inexperienced home cook can do it.

This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 Granny Smith Apple

1 ½ T Sugar (Sugar in Spanish is azúcar. Random, I know.)

2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Non-stick Spray

*Cookware needed

Cutting Board

Knife

Measuring Spoons

Cookie Sheet

Directions

1.) Pre-heat your oven to 350°F. (I know your packaging on the Crescent rolls say 375°F, but I like doing things my way. I don’t want the outside to get too brown before the apples have a chance to get tender.)

2.) Cut the apple into halves and then cut each half into 8 pieces. (Be sure to cut off any of the middle core/seed area. Not sexy.)

3.) In a bowl, add the slices apples, 1 ½ T sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

4.) Coat the apples with the mixture and let it sit while you’re preparing the dough.

5.) Open the crescent roll package and place each individual piece on a cookie sheet. (Be sure to spray with non-stick spray.)

6.) For each piece of dough, take 2 apple slices and wrap them inside. (Be sure to press any gaps together completely enclosing the apples in the dough.)

7.) Once all apples are safely wrapped in dough, bake for 15-20 minutes. (The color should be a slightly under golden brown.)

8.) Serve and enjoy with a caramel drizzle and your favorite ice-cream.

In hindsight, I should’ve peeled the apple, but it was still tasty and perfectly delicious! As always, if there is a topic or recipe you’d like me to post, don’t hesitate to comment and let me know. I’m constantly looking for ways to give you more value on my blog. Peace, love, and food!
