Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and brush a thin layer over each crescent triangle.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each triangle, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
Step 6
Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce (about 1 teaspoon) onto the wider end of each triangle. Avoid adding too much to prevent spillage during baking.
Step 7
Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly into a crescent shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, pointed side down.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully baked.
Step 9
While the crescents are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
Step 10
Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm crescents and serve immediately.
