Apple Pie Cinnamon Twists

Apple pie should be at every holiday brunch/dinner in my book. But the best thing about these Apple Pie Cinnamon Twists is that they are WAY easier to make then traditional apple pie.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix brown sugar, apple butter and flour together.
  • Unroll crescent dough and lay down as 4 rectangles on prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread apple butter mixture onto 2 of the rectangles.
  • Place the other 2 rectangles on top of the apple pie mixture. Press edges together.
  • Brush melted butter on top of rectangles. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut both rectangles into 6 strips.
  • Twist each strip a few times and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes. While the first batch of apple pie twists are baking, repeat Step 1-7.

MAKE CREAM CHEESE ICING:

  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Fill a zip-lock bag with cream cheese icing, lock it shut and snip off a corner of the bag. Ice tops of each pumpkin pie twist and enjoy. Simply throw the bag away when finished.

Notes

  • STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
