Apple Peanut Butter Crescents

Sharing my favorite crescent roll desserts today! My Apple Peanut Butter Crescents could not be more simple to prepare and so perfect for parties!

Crescent Roll Desserts

So, today we are talking Pillsbury Cresent Rolls. I am kinda in love with them. There are about a zillion things you can do to create an amazing little work of art. I developed a simple Roasted Apples and Peanut Butter Crescent recipe that is going to knock your socks off. Just wait until you give these a try. I LOVE the apples and peanut butter combo, it works so lovely inside the crescent dough! This is such a great recipe to get the kids in the kitchen with you. They’ll love to help in all of these simple steps. Enjoy!

Let’s start by thinly slicing your apples into a nice mixing bowl.

How To Make Apple Peanut Butter Crescents

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and large skillet over medium heat. Add butter to skillet to melt. Stir in apples, cinnamon and brown sugar. Let cook for about 3 minutes. Apples should not be too soft. Remove from heat.
  2. Unroll crescents onto a large baking sheet lined with a silpat liner. Spread each crescent evenly with a heaping teaspoon or two of peanut butter. Place a spoonful of spiced apples to the wide end of the crescent. Starting at wide end of crescent, start rolling to thin end (see pictures for a visual). Sprinkle tops with sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  3. Bake for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then serve warm.

Stir and let cook for 3 minutes or so. You want the apples to still have a little “bite” to them.

    These look so good, and maybe easy enough that even I can make them! 😂 My question is, I want to take them to a gathering tomorrow but won’t have time to make them between work and dinner, so I’m making them tonight to take tomorrow. Are they still ok reheated after being refrigerated? Any advise on the best method of doing so? Thanks, and I can’t wait to taste the results! 😍

      With Crescents, they’re best made the day of serving. I wouldn’t make ahead for this recipe Jamie 🙂

    Bravo Tina! N’aurait pas pu dire mieux. Couldn’t have said it better! Think I’ll make these for Easter brunch. Bon appetit!

    I think everyone needs to realize when they visit someone’s blog/website, that is that persons “home”. Would you go into someone’s home and be unkind, critical or disrespectful? This is Jenny’s “home” and should be treated with respect. If you don’t agree with her, don’t like her recipes, just go back home. Literally, press your home button on your computer and leave. The world wide web is a tremendous place of knowledge and we can all learn so much from it. The one thing that we can’t learn is manners – momma should have taught you that! So that is my two cents!
    Have a fab-u-licious day and Laissez les bons temps rouler!

    Jackie, why waste your time leaving a rude comment? Nobody is forcing you to make these recipes or feed them to your family. I love the recipes on here and my family is healthy and all of our BMIs are within a normal range. It’s called moderation and being active.

  5. Emily @ Life on Food

    These look great and so easy. Totally want this for breakfast and not do an apple pie for Thanksgiving dessert. Do you think anyone would notice?

  6. Karen @ Sugartown Sweets

    Yum! Gotta try these..especially with the peanut butter on them! Thanks for all the great recipes. 🙂

    Almost all of your recipes are super unhealthy. Why would we cook and feed our families this food on a daily basis? Hello, Type II Diabetes. Feeding your family this food – because they are ‘picky’ – will result in obesity and chronic disease. Not to mention the fact that a lot of recipes that load junk food on top of junk food on top of processed convenience foods is somehow real cooking demonstrates how low the bar has sunk for women interested in feeding their families and “cooking.”

      What is wrong w/YOU!! Nobody is forcing you to cook this way, or make these recipes!! There is no need for your derogatory comment!!

  8. Pamela+@+Brooklyn+Farm+Girl

    Have a great trip!

  9. Tieghan

    These look killer! Warm peanut butter apple crescents sound soo good! I love Pillsbury products! 🙂
    Oh and I have been loving your instagram pics! Keep having fun in vegas!!

    My husband will love these since he is a huge peanut butter and apples fan. Do you have any suggestions for making similar without pb for the kids? I was thinking of just the apples or possibly using nutella or biscoff spread?

  11. Aimee+@+Simple+Bites

    Have fun in Vegas!! Such a fun town.
    I could go for a couple of these with my second coffee…

  12. Rebecca @ Dorm Room Baker

    Seems like crescent rolls are the perfect vehicles for recipes like this. Now I really want one for breakfast!

    What a great idea! These would be perfect for a buffet. Love Love Love!
    Great work!
