what you’ll need for this recipe

Refrigerated Crescent Rolls – I used one package (8 count) refrigerated crescent rolls. Either Pillsbury or any brand will work just fine.

Apple Pie Filling – I used 3/4 cup apple pie filling. Feel free to use either homemade pie filling or your favorite store bought pie filling.

Streusel topping – I made a simple streusel topping using all purpose flour, light brown sugar, oats, and butter.

Unroll & fill crescent rolls. Open the package of crescent roll dough. Unroll and separate the dough into 8 individual triangles. Spoon 1 1/2 Tablespoons of apple pie filling onto the wider end of each triangle.

Roll into crescents. Roll each triangle into a crescent shape, starting at the wider end.

Top with streusel. Place rolled crescents on a lightly greased baking sheet. Prepare streusel topping and divide it evenly among the top of the rolls, pressing it gently onto the dough.

Bake. Bake at 350° 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

  1. I love apple pies but they can be so messy sometimes! This is a great way to have a “slice” without all the mess!

  2. I love that this pretty much gives me an excuse to eat apple pie for breakfast!! Thank you for that!! 😀

    The fall is hitting in the door, my family is looking forward to go-to fall desserts for some of our picnics. Your apple pie so quick and easy bites for this one.

  5. I am such a sucker for streusel topping. This recipe is going to be trouble, because they are soooo easy to make!

  6. 5 stars
    Everyone loves then! I baked them in a 9×7 cake pan and was pleasantly surprised how well they “cutout.” Leaving the pan almost clean. I had to bake much longer (20 minutes) but they came out golden brown with crunchy streusel. Definitely will make this recipe again.

  7. Turned out delicious! My only tip is to roll the crescents with apples inside, into the crumb mixture! It sticks to them better!Then top them off with a good pinch of topping when on the tray! New family favorite!❤

  8. These Apple Pie Crescent Rolls look amazing! I love how easy they seem to make, and the combination of flavors is mouthwatering. Can’t wait to try this recipe for my next family gathering! Thank you for sharing!
