Apple Raisin Crescent Roll Dessert Recipe

Crescent rolls are so easy to prepare and are especially handy when you want to whip up a simple dessert like these easy-to-prepare Pecan Apple Raisin Crescents!

Fall is my favorite. Every Fall, I find myself in the kitchen cooking with apples because I love those recipes so much. I love creating a new recipe using apples. See my Apple Recipes page.

I have really been enjoying cooking in my iron skillet recently! I made this recipe in my small iron skillet because I only used one can of crescent rolls and one apple, so the little one works just fine.

Ingredients

• 1 can of crescent rolls
• 1 large apple (I used Honeycrisp)
• ¼ Cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ pecan pieces
• ¼ raisins
• ½ stick unsalted butter, softened
• a sprinkling of Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Peel and cut the apple into small bite-sized chunks and set aside while you melt the butter.

Step 2

Melt about 3 Tbsp. of butter in a large skillet, like this cast iron one, on medium heat. Then add the brown sugar and apple chunks into the melted butter and stir occasionally.

Step 3

Cook, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Then add the pecans and raisins and continue to stir.

Step 4

While the apples are simmering, prepare the crescent rolls and preheat the oven to 325°.

Roll out each crescent roll and spread with the remaining softened butter. Then sprinkle the top of the butter with cinnamon sugar

Step 5

Place a dollop of the apple mixture onto each prepared crescent roll.

Gently roll up and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 min. Oven temperatures vary; be sure to check yours often.

I make a basic icing by mixing powdered sugar and milk, then drizzle it over finished Pecan Apple Raisin Crescents.

Serve and Enjoy!

Your house will smell like Fall while the apple mixture is simmering on the stove. It reminds me of the fair, since our fair typically takes place in the Autumn.

Crescent rolls are so easy to prepare when you want to whip up a simple pastry dessert like these delicious Pecan Apple Raisin Crescents!

Pecans

The pecans are optional if you prefer to skip them. I grew up eating pecans because I live in Georgia.

Georgia is the leading producer of pecans in the United States! There are huge pecan orchards just right up the road from our home. I grew up eating pecans in desserts and used them as decoration for cakes and even as a snack like these Spiced Pecans.
