In my last post, I shared a recipe for easy vegan apple turnovers. These pockets of sweet apple goodness are delicious and so simple to make, with the help of puff pastry. But I didn't stop there, because yes, apple turnovers are easy to make, but a yummy apple dessert can be even easier and faster to prepare. If you've got a package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls on the door of your fridge and Cosmic Crisp Washington Apples in the refrigerator crisper, you can have a tasty dessert ready in 20 minutes! These fast and easy vegan apple cinnamon crescent rolls are perfect for when you're feeling peckish on a dreary winter afternoon too.
Cosmic Crisp® Washington apples are crispier and sweeter than other varieties, and naturally slow to brown. The Cosmic Crisp® was classically bred at Washington State University. It's non-GMO and a cross between the ‘Enterprise’ and ‘Honeycrisp.’ Cosmic Crisps are ideal for baking in a dessert such as these apple cinnamon crescent rolls, but due to their sweetness and crispy texture, they also make an exceptional (juicy!) snacking apple.
Bake the apple cinnamon crescent rolls for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
To make the optional chocolate glaze, simply add semi-sweet (dairy-free) chocolate chips to the top of a double boiler with a splash or two of non-dairy milk and a teaspoon of corn syrup (for a smoother, shinier chocolate glaze). Gently heat water in the bottom of the double boiler, stirring the chocolate mixture as it melts. Adjust the non-dairy milk and corn syrup as needed to create a thinner glaze. Drizzle chocolate onto cooled apple cinnamon crescent rolls.
