Ingredients

• 2 large Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tube Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.

Step 6

Spread a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the spiced apple mixture on top of the cream cheese.

Step 8

Carefully roll the dough from the wider end to the tip, encasing the filling inside. Pinch any open edges to seal the dumpling.

Step 9

Place the prepared dumplings onto the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the dumplings with melted butter for a golden, flaky finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
