Roll out the crescent rolls. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mixture.

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.

Ingredients

• 1 can of crescent rolls
• 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-size 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 temps vary, be sure to check yours often!

I make a basic icing by mixing powdered sugar and milk then drizzle 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 makes me think of the fair since our fair comes around during Autumn.
