Ingredients

• 2 medium Granny Smith apples
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 roll (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Peel, core, and finely dice the Granny Smith apples. Place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Mix well to coat the apple pieces evenly.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough.

Step 5

Cut the dough into four equal rectangles using a knife or pizza cutter.

Step 6

Spoon the spiced apple mixture evenly onto one half of each rectangle, leaving some space around the edges for sealing.

Step 7

Gently fold the other half of the dough over the apples on each rectangle, enclosing the filling. Use a fork to press the edges together, sealing the pockets.

Step 8

With a sharp knife, cut a small crisscross pattern into the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape and to mimic the 'crown' look.

Step 9

Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

While the pastries bake, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the Crisscross Apple Crowns are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the tops.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
