Cream Cheese and Apple Crescents

     I wondered at the beginning of the week if I would be tired of apples by the time I got to this point. I can happily say that I am not! We have had such a variety of meals and snacks that it's not just a repetition of flavor over and over.
     Last night I remembered this blueberry cream cheese danish and I wondered if a similar idea would work with apples. Only I wanted it to be for breakfast, so I made a few changes. These were fabulous! They just melted in your mouth...or maybe that was my mouth melting because I ate them right out of the oven. In any case, they were so good.
     I will make these again. The only change I might make when I make these again is that I wouldn't dice up the apples and mix them with the cream cheese. I might spread the cream cheese on, sprinkle with the cinnamon, top with apple slices, then roll up. I don't think this difference would affect the flavor, but it might make the appearance a little better!

4oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbl + 1 tsp agave nectar
1 Tbl + 1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 apple, diced
1 pkg crescent rolls

  • Combine cream cheese, vanilla, agave, brown sugar, cinnamon, and apples.
  • Unroll the crescent dough from tube. Spoon the filling onto each triangle. Wrap the points around the filling.
  • Bake according to roll directions or until the tops are golden.
