Apple Pie Dumplings made with just two easy ingredients! Simply add them to a baking dish and cook until tender and lightly browned. Serve these dumplings warm out of the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
This has to be the easiest dessert EVER, you’re just two ingredients away from an amazing dessert! My 10 year old probably would’ve eaten the whole recipe had I let her (trust me, she asked)!
When purchasing canned apple pie filling, I highly recommend buying a good quality brand. It may cost a few pennies extra, but this is the one place I think it’s worth it! I’ve found most store brand pie fillings taste pretty close the the name brands… except apple. The store brand apple pie fillings never seem to taste the same to me!
If you prefer, you can certainly use a quick homemade apple pie filling which only takes a few minutes to make! While this recipe calls for just one can of filling, adding two works great if you like more apples in your dessert (and increases the servings from 4 to 6).
Because our store doesn’t carry the apple pie filling with cinnamon, I like to add a dash of cinnamon. Of course this takes the recipe from 2 ingredients to 3 but it also adds a lot of extra flavor! Feel free to get creative and toss in some pecans, walnuts, raisins, coconut or whatever you happen to have on hand!
You’ll want to ensure your apple/crescent mixture is spread out in a dish (mine was 2qt.). After 15 minutes I flip the crescents over, you don’t have to but it gives a more even cook and makes sure everything is all spread out.
I personally top mine with ice cream (or whipped cream if it’s all I have on hand) but my husband LOVES to top his with heavy cream and a drizzle of caramel.
This recipe has been one of my top and most loved recipes forever! I’ve made this countless times, always with great results. It’s amazing that combining Apple Pie filling and crescent rolls can create such a delicious dessert!
Find quick and easy stove top homemade apple pie filling recipe here! This easy recipe is made on the stove top and makes the equivalent of one store bought can of pie filling!
Note: The baking time on this recipe can vary. Mine always takes 25 minutes but depending on the dish you use, you may need to add a few minutes to your bake time. Be sure that your dough is on top of the apples and somewhat spread out. This will also work with rolls of biscuit dough.

Needed something quick for a small Sunday dinner. My son loves apple pie but I didn’t have time for that. The crescent rolls took a little longer to bake than the suggested time) but when I took the dish out of the oven, I almost dropped it turning to set it on the counter because my son was all over me trying to get to it! It was delicious with my Southern Pecan Ice Cream. This one will be used often, I’m sure!
I don’t seem to be able to find the video.
Hi Harriet, it is just above the recipe card or you can click here to watch it as well!
Do you put the dumplings on the apples and bake it at the same time how would you make the dumplings
Hi Philip, we mix them all together and then bake them.
Love all of your recipes!
Thanks so much Bonnie!
Love your recipes
Thanks Mary Ann!
Great recipes
Thanks Carole!

Aww, thanks Mary!
Use cinnamon buns inside of crescent rolls and Granny Smith apples
That sounds yummy Kay!
How to do with fresh apples
Make and you’re set Kima!
So easy to make and tastes delicious! I used an apple pie filling that I made in the fall and froze. Served with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel to drizzle over everything, yum!
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Brittany. Homemade apple pie filling would be so good with these dumplings!
Can this be made in a crock pot?
I haven’t tried this recipe in the slow cooker.
Hi! This sounds great and I have crescents on hand. But I also have a pie crust (Pillsbury) I wanted to use up. I saw you said it’d be good with biscuits also. Have you tried it with pie crust?
I haven’t tried this with pie crust, let us know how it goes if you try it!
Well I went to mix this up and the pastry’s ended up as adhering back together and staying seperated
Is the video still available for this recipe? Can you post the link? Thank you!
The video has been added to the post! Take a peek Andrea.
It was good warm,,,,, haven’t yet tried it cold. The crescent rolls take a little longer then
it says.
Baking times can vary. I hope you liked them cold too!
cook for my wife on Sundays and tried this apple dumpling this Sunday. I did not have the recipe written down so just winged it from what I could remember. We loved it. She called her friends to brag about it. Next time (soon) I will add the nutmeg
I was considering making this for Thanksgiving, but am confused by the wording… This is what you wrote: “ensuring the crescent pieces are on top of the pie filling.” So, I am confused, because you stated to “mix” everything together in the previous step. Can you clarify?
Thanks!
Mix them together, but when putting it in the pan, place the crescent pieces on the top of the filling so they bake well.
I’m confused with directions. Do you put the pie filling and crescent squares in the same bowl and stir them all up at once? Why not just put the crescent pieces on top?
Yes you stir them all at once. The reason they’re stirred together is to coat all sides of the dumplings with the apple pie sauce.
I don’t mean to sound stupid, but for the 2 ingredient apple pie dumplings, do you cut each crescent roll into 12-14 pieces or does this mean 12-14 pieces for all of them. Thanks so much for your help.
12-14 pieces for the whole roll. There is a video just above the recipe. :) Enjoy!
Hi can anyone tell me if there is an alternative to crescent rolls here in Australia? I’ve been trying to find out for ages but no one can tell me. Thanks all. Rob
Puff pastry would be a great alternative, Rob!
Canned cinnamon rolls would be good.
I enjoy making some of these recipes that i find on here. They are quite delicious.
Glad to hear it! :)
I would really like to try this with blackberry pie filling.
That sounds amazing!
The recipes all look good and easy
Will try tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
I made the apple pie dumplings & it was a hit with the whole family! Will definitely make this more often.
I’m so glad you loved them!
I love your recipes.They are simple.They are easy to print.
Thank you Sue!
I used a whole tsp. of cinnamon, simply because my hubby likes it that way. It was so yummy. Could use this for company with a very good ice cream. I’m going to try peach next. Thanks so much!
I wonder if I could make a few batches of the apple pie filling and freeze it so I could make a batch of dumplings before school, it would save me a little time. I like the homemade filling better than the canned.
I agree, homemade is always best if you have time. :)
Made this and it was delicious! I mixed it all together with nutmeg and allspice then put a little brown sugar on top. When it came out of stove, I Topped it with nuts and ice cream and it was a hit! Quick, easy and delicious!!
The addition of brown sugar and nuts would be great in this recipe! So glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wait to try the Peach Dumplings and Apple Pie Dumplings. I think my family will LOVE them. Thank You for sharing them.
Enjoy!
Just love this pie filling.
So glad you love it!
I love your simple recipes you make cooking alot easier on these hot days don’t have to spend hours in kitchen. Thanks for putting these on here for us.
Thank you Patricia!
Would you know if there is an equivalent in Australia for a crescent roll…we don’t have such a thing and wouldn’t know where to start. Thank you
My understanding is that Australia doesn’t have an equivalent for crescent rolls.
Great receipts,!
Thank you Ronda!
I’m going to make these
I don’t cook much any more but I plan to try this.
That is okay.
I am so anxious to try your receipe……looks fantastic I not even sure which one first !!
Enjoy Debbie!
Do you think I could add 2 packages of cresent rolls? I know I like more dumpling to fruit ratio but wasn’t sure it would be as good.
I think that it would be fine, especially if you love dumplings! When you make it Jennifer please let me know how you liked it!
I;m very Southern, who couldn’t love these dishes, i’m a baker myself. Thanks for sharing your recipes !!!!
Thank you Theresa! Enjoy!
Would love recipes by email please
You can sign up for recipes via email here.
I love your recipes they are so quick and easy for dessert. They taste so good.
Thank you so much Linda! I’m glad you love them! :)
looks delicious will try thanks
I made this and my dumplings are bigger almost cinnamon roll size it looks in the pics like you cut your roll lengthwise before cutting into 12 pieces is this accurate?
I did cut it in half lengthwise and then into pieces.
Do you think you could prepare the apple dumplings in a crockpot?
I cut mine into 24 pieces and I’m happy I did, I think 12 would have been too big and flavorless.
Hi. We don’t. Get. The tin crescents. Here in Australia. Is there a recipe. To make them. Myself please.
You could try scone dough.
What is a crescent rolls in Australia please help
You could try scone dough.
I make Apple Dumplings using fresh apples and crescent rolls, 1 can of sprite, 1 cup of sugar, 1 stick of butter. Mix sprite, sugar and butter in a sauce pan and heat on stove until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Cut 2 apples in quarters. Separate crescent rolls and wrap each piece of apple with a crescent roll. Place in baking dish and pour sprite mixture over the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. May use fresh peaches also.
I used two cans of pie filling and a 13 x 9 x 2 pan. Then topped with Canned Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls (2 cans) It took a little longer to cook but was great! Then topped with sweet icing when almost cool.
Delicious, fast and easy, thanks for posting! I had to cook it longer. Next time I will make sure the oven is preheated, I suspect it was not yet 375 when I put the dish in the oven. I will also try heating the pie filling as suggested by a commenter. I used sugar free apple pie filling and Pillsbury crescent rolls and wish I had vanilla ice cream on hand.
I was looking for a quick and simple dessert for Thanksgiving dinner. (I’m kinda not feeling making pound cakes from scratch this year.) I happened across this recipe and have just put my second batch in two days in the oven. The first batch was inhaled in hours.
Thanks for sharing.
LOL! Glad you enjoyed it Clarissa! :)
I might try this over the weekend with my friend and her kids. I’ll get some French vanilla ice cream to go along with it. I like the idea that Brittney brought up of trying it with cinnamon roll dough but for the first time out I’ll stick with the recipe. I try to find some quick and easy treats to make with them and this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks you very much for this. :)
Since when did 3 ingredient become 2 ??????
Hello Icancount. One ingredient is optional, only two ingredients are required to make this recipe. Hope that helps.
Don’t pay attention to the negative people. Just keep on with what you’re doing with your head held high. You’re doing a great job.
:) Thank you Gloria.
Love your recipes.
Thank you Colleen! :)
Do I have to oil the casserole dish before putting the ingredients in
You certainly can however if your dish is ceramic it’s not necessary with this recipe.
Could you add 2 cans of crescent rolls, to make more dough? Guess it might need cooking longer. Thanks
Yes but I think it might be a little too much dough for the amount of apples.
Anyone try this with cinnamon rolls instead of crescent rolls?
This was great, can not wait to try peach.
Sounds great !
Thanks for the recipe, this was so easy and so yummy!! I finally found a good use for that can of apple pie filling :)
So glad you enjoyed it!
That would be 3 ingredients…and the cresent rolls are too salty
The cinnamon is optional. Are you using store brand crescents? Readers have mentioned that the Walmart brand is quite salty.
It honestly drives me nuts when it’s written “only 2 ingredients”. It’s not! A roll of crescent dough has a ton ridiculous ingredients. This is not a recipe. It’s a hack for an apple pie – lets just call it that??!
Really? When was the last time you saw a recipe that uses prepared items/products, list every ingredient in the products? You are ridiculous!
if you are having trouble getting the rolls done, try heating the filling before you put the rolls on top. You can do this in the microwave. It will help tremendously.
For those of you that insist on adding extra ingredients or just complaining about the recipe, try to remember this is just a 2 ingredient recipe you can make in no time. It’s just a fun and easy recipe to try. If you like it fine if not throw away the recipe. Nobody made any guaranties. So come on guys it’s just a 2 ingredient recipe, have fun!!
I tried this recipe tonight and it was soo delicious!! I will definitely be making again!! Thanks for this amazing recipe
So glad you loved it Tiffany! :)
Can you use buttermilk bisquits instead of crescent ? What’s the differencce?
Yes you can.
I didnt understand when the recipe says mix all together then put into a pan and make sure the cresents are on top of the apples. .. Do I mix together and then put the apples down first then top it with the cresents? Then flip after 15 minutes?
When pouring it into the baking dish I just try to make sure the dough is on top. You mix it together so the dough gets coated in the apple filling but they cook better if they are on top in the dish.
I finally tried this recipe and it was wonderful.
Tried it was easy to make and taste great!!!
I saw this a while back n I keep meaning to make it but I keep forgeting, went to the pantry doubleckecked on that pie filling and definitely making it later tonight with dinner, I’m sure both my little girl n husband will love it!
I made this last night it was quick and simple and easy to make, and it was to my surprise very delicious so delicious that when I came back this morning to have a little for breakfast my son who is home from college eat it all. He said it was very good so I have to make more because my 9 year old did not get to taste it because she likes things fresh out of the oven she doesn’t like to microwave anything.
Thank you sooo much for posting this recipe on Facebook.
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it Veronica! Thanks for stopping by! :)
To help with cooking the rolls, heat the pie filling first before placing the cut rolls on top. I have noticed that fillings need to be hot when placing them into unbaked pie crust.
Has anyone tried rolling some filling up in the crescent rolls and baking them so they’d be more like turnovers? I’m thinking a little butter and cinnamon on top would keep them from browning too much.
Has anyone thought of making these with a can of cinnamon rolls instead of cressent rolls? Just a thought.
I have done it — it is AWESOME!! just don’t use the icing — I cut them in 1/4s and smooshed them before rolling
I had the same issue the dough would just not cook not matter what I did. It got to the point where I had to scoop the dough out and pitch it because the rest of the dish was drying out from bring cooked so long.
I’m going to have to play with the recipe and see why that’s happening to a few of you! Most people have no problem but there are a few that it doesn’t cook through. Are you using Pillsbury brand?
Ok so I JUST made this and it was soooooooo delicious!!!!! I kept it in the over for 20 minutes or until the rolls were golden brown. I then took out of the oven and turned the rolls over as they were a little gooey. So I baked for an additional 10 minutes. I did add a little bit of powdered sugar/ milk mixture on the top while still hot and OMG…. FREAKING AWESOME! Another thing I added that I thought would be good was chopped pecans! Wonderful recipe! I thought I’d screw it up based on some reviews, but I didn’t! Yay me!!!
Btw
Husband approved!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Pecans would be a delicious addition, thank you for sharing!!
I don’t get it. Why did only one other person have my experience? I read through all the reviews before I made this. Only one negative one. I got up this morning at 6:30 and started making this for a work function. It’s an hour and half later and it’s still not done! I put the croissants on top of the filling because I was afraid they wouldn’t get done. After 25 minutes of baking at 375, I pulled it out of the oven. The top of the croissants were done but the inside and bottom was all mushy. Not near done. Flipped the croissants over and put it back in for another 25. Still not done! Did what I should have done in the first place and took a scissors and chopped them into little pieces. 10 more min in the oven. Kinda done. Shoved them back in and now I’m waiting another ten minutes. Honestly, I love the idea of this recipe. But I’m really disappointed.
I could easily have done something wrong. But there are like, 3 steps to this recipe so I’m not sure what happened. Possibly my oven is way off. But I haven’t noticed that when I bake other things.
I’m taking them for my co-workers, most of whom have an Amish background and have been baking since they were in diapers. If they enjoy it, then it was all worth it. Here’s hoping they don’t shun me for this dish lol.
I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Just sharing my experience.
I can’t say for sure why you had trouble; mine definitely cooked in 25 minutes (I used Pillsbury, not store brand) and placed the casserole dish on the middle rack of the oven. Because it is sitting on the pie filling, the bottom of the crescents will definitely be a little bit softer/wet. There have been a couple of readers who also said that their crescents didn’t cook through in 25 minutes but I’m not sure why. I understand why you feel disappointed that it took much longer than expected (an hour and a half to cook store bought crescents is a very long time!!) Hopefully when all was said and done, the end result was delicious.
Looks so good
If you want healthier version, see if you can find Immaculate Baking Co. crescent rolls…usually at Whole Foods but now I even see them at the regular store..yay!
I’m wondering if you couldn’t take the big canned biscuits and cut into 4th and make this recipe…even add some nuts and cook in a loaf pan.
I’m sure that would work. This recipe pretty easily adapted!
Try adding 1/4 tsp nutmeg to the recipe. Every time I use a canned pie filling I add cinnamon nad nutmeg to it. Turns out great.
Has anyone baked in advance and warmed before serving? If so, how is it?
I made this using 1 can of peach pie filling and 1/2 can of blueberry pie filling and it was delicious! It did take longer for the crescent dumplings to bake but it was worth the wait!
Nowhere did I find the oven temp. 350? 400? It sounds as tho a squeeze of lemon juice might help it for those who think it will be too sweet, but ‘too sweet’ is what dessert’s all about, isn’t it??? Just have less!
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. :) Enjoy!
This looks delicious! My family loves apple pie and cobbler and I am hoping this will be about the same. Not everyones taste is the same…ignore the negative and keep giving good recipes!!
Thank you Bernie! :)
This is so easy and even better! Muy guy requested it two night in a row… So good over vanilla bean ice cream!
So glad you & your guy enjoyed it Mary! :)
I made this and it was super easy but I did have some tips. Directions say to mix the filing and crescent roll dough together but I found the dough that was mixed Into the filling would not cook. The dough set on the top cooked fine. I cooked for over 45 minutes without the dough inside getting remotely cooked. I ended up pulling them out and putting on top but at that point the original dough in top was well done and it left the dough getting cooked unevenly with some being perfect(those moved on top last) and the rest very well done. An easy fix but it almost tripled the cooking time. Next time I’ll know better.
Once out of the oven I recommend putting butter on the rolls and sprinkling just a little sugar on them.
Thank you for sharing your tips Tara! Mine didn’t take that long but ovens can definitely vary! I love the idea of butter & sugar on top! :)
I also had the same problem. The rolls wouldn’t cook, they were browning on top but raw underneath. I flipped several times and it took way longer than expected. The end result was good. Since I have medicine to take once a week, (can’t lay down for 30 minutes after taking and can’t eat for 1 hour), I made them for a Sunday breakfast. I will make again but next time I know to start earlier.
oops several
fixing to try the only problem when I took them out of oven severs pieces the dough didn’t cook through they were wet & gooy raw so flipped & cooking longer
Mine took closer to 25 minutes.. if yours aren’t cooked through then definitely flipping them and cooking a bit longer is a great idea!
Will be trying this on the weekend but with peach filling
Hi Holly, thanks.. this looks great, I don’t have the time to make stuff like this from scratch so this is awesome, don’t take to heart a couple of the negative comments, you can’t please everyone. It’s quick and easy and it’s something you can make in a pinch with stuff you have in the fridge and pantry. I love the idea, keep them coming please.
Thank you Jessica! <3 I hope you enjoy these!
Just made this recipe with WalMart frozen buttermilk biscuits! Cut each biscuits into fourths and baked a little longer than the recipe stated. Seriously yummy! Turns out more the dumplings in cobbler. Thanks for the recipe.
I was wondering if I could use biscuits instead since I have those on hand! Thanks for the tip!
My kids would love these! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Yummy! looks divine!
this is sure to be a hit with our grandchildren! I invite you to share at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop ( every Thursday or you can link up today until midnight) Hugs!
THESE ARE VERY GOOD & EASY TO MAKE! I HAVE USED JUST ABOUT EVERY PIE FILLING & THEY ARE ALL GOOD!
Congratulations!
Your Recipe is featured on Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you enjoy your weekend and your new Red Plate!
Come Back Soon,
Miz Helen
Thank you Miz Helen!!
I will try this . But couldn’t u use real apples??? And brown sugar and cinnamon Cresent rolls??
I would think real apples would work but I haven’t tried it that way. You may like to add some of the same ingredients you use in apple pie (including something to thicken them so they don’t get runny).
THANK YOU for the amazing quick and easy recipe!! Please come again soon to the Wonderful Wed. Blog Hop and bring more amazing recipes please. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
I resend my comment of August 9, 2014. It was based on the teaspoon I sampled when it first came out of the oven. My husband said it tasted nasty and wouldn’t eat it. Also, using Comstock apple pie filling, it is way too sweet and tastes like Pillsbury bread dough–nothing homemade tasting or pastry about it. Save your time, money and ingredients! This is not good!
We loved this recipe, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it.
I agree that the canned apple pie filling is way too sweet; for my tastes anyway.
So you tried a recipe that wasn’t to your or your family’s liking, why such negativity? Taste buds & flavor palettes are like a person’s looks – subjective especially depending on how educated the palette is but I have to say, certainly you knew your families’ tastes before making this easy recipe and I say tasty recipe. Some people just like the drama which is sad but if you were an experienced cook or knew what your family liked, I am sure you have used canned pie filling before and knew you could modify that with fresh fruit or flavoring or even a fresh fruit thickened with sugar, flour, cornstarch or any homemade pie filling recipe from fresh fruit and not liking crescent roll dough, then easy few ingredients to make your own dough, roll it out, ball it up and follow the instructions from that point. So why would you make a recipe disliking ALL 2 ingredients?? Both common ingredients that I am sure you have tasted before. Really? Or was it just to post (to quote your hubby’s elaborate vocabulary) a ‘nasty’ review? SMH and rolling my eyes. Do yourself and all of us a favor and don’t follow the site or try any of these recipes!!! A recipe is a guide (hello common sense)….and substitutions of like/similar ingredients and enhancements are part of making a recipe our own based on our personal tastes, likes and dislikes….I love this basic starter and added my own touches, still quick and easy and delish!!!
well said!
I say keep the recipe and get rid of the husband!
It’s rescind, not resend.
Thank You for stopping by Inspire Us Tuesdays and leaving some inspiration behind. We would love for you to visit each week and leave some inspiration, find some inspiration, and borrow some of these ideas for yourself for the future.
This is great to make in a pinch. I love apple pie and I love dumplings so win-win!
Passing by from Melt in Your Mouth Mondays.

Looks delicious, thanks for sharing with Hearth and Soul blog hop. pinning
Looking forward to more recipes!
Oh my. I think you are brilliant! Love this! It looks so wonderful, I think I can smell it baking! I would love if you would stop by and share this at my new link party, Celebrate It! It is all about celebrating what we do every day!
Hope to see you there!
I love this..this would also work for blackberry or blueberry dumplings never thought of apple…fixing it tomorrow for dessert.
Just found you on a blog hop! WOW!!!!! You’ve got some great stuff out there. Subscribed and am looking forward to future posts! (Just spent about 45 minutes poking around!!!) Glad I found you!!!! Blessings! Kelly
Thank you and Welcome Kelly!! :)
Simple and delish! I dotted the top with drops of butter before sprinkling cinnamon and baking. Adds a richness to the flavor!
They were super good! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed them Chris!!
Hi Holly,
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! Looks simple and delicious!
Two questions: which brand apple pie filling do you recommend? And which brand (and what sized can) do you recommend for the crescent rolls?
Thanks in advance for your time and help!
Rosie
Hi Rosie! Comstock is a great brand for pie filling (and available at Walmart). I always use Pillsbury crescent rolls and it’s an 8oz tube.
Enjoy!! :) Holly
Hi Holly,
Delicious and just getting ready for fall desserts! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great day!
Come Back Soon!
Miz Helen
I think this will be a great dish for my teenage grandchildren to do. I’m always looking for recipes for them to learn. It will be a treat for me to have them fix this. I’m also thinking using the cinnamon rolls would be fun for Thanksgiving or Christmas or a special occasion. Thanks for sharing! :-)
:) You’re welcome Eve!
Hi just wanted to know when and how do you use the cinnamon?
I stir it into the Apple Pie Filling. :)
Why flip them
It helps them cook evenly and prevents over-browning.
These look absolutely yummy! Thank you for sharing.
I will be trying these this weekend! Joyce G. has a
great idea as well. I think I’ll try that one too! Such
great ideas here. I’m bookmarking your page here
and following you on Pinterest!
Thank you for the follow! :) I hope you enjoy this dessert!
I made these over the weekend with reduced fat crescent rolls and no sugar added pie filling. They were great and the whole dish was still under 1000 calories!!! Just thought I would put it out there for those worried about too many calories.
Thank you for sharing Tracy!!
Does anyone have a link to get nutritional info? These crescent recipes look so good!
You can find nutritional info at My Fitness Pal by simply entering the link.
I LOVE finding recipes with minimal ingredients! This looks like the perfect dessert to enjoy on a fall evening. Pinning this!
Thank you for stopping by!! :)
I will try. Looks delicious and simple.
My mother-in-law used to make Apple Dumplings a lot way back when and have been looking for an easy way to make them, thank you so much
You’re welcome! Enjoy Pamela!
I have done this using the tubed refrigerated cinnamon rolls! DELISH!
Sprinkle an extra brown sugar/cinnamon combo on top for extra sweetness.
What a great idea! Definitely going to try this! Sounds like it would be like a coffee cake!!
It’s not very cake like.. more like pie almost. :) Either way it’s delicious!
Omg that sound amazing!
Thank and I can barely wit to try this !!!
These look so delicious. I love apple pie…and this would be so much easier than making a pie!
If you have fresh peaches can you use them?
I haven’t done it that way but it sounds delicious! I would suggest adding the same ingredients to the peaches you would as if you were making a pie (cornstarch/flour etc) (so it doesn’t become too watery).
You could use peach pie filling.. or like it, says, you would have to thicken the fresh peaches..
I posted this to my sis in law’s page. Since my brother LOVES cherry pie, I suggested that she use canned cherry filling instead of the apple you suggested. :) Your apple would probably be my fav. though.
Yum, made it today, using cherry pie filling, a handful of dried cherries, 1/2 t almond extract and the cinnamon….it is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to try this with cherry too and I love the idea of adding the almond extract! That would be delicious!!
you can use whatever fruit you have on hand,,,
In a can of crescent rolls there are 8 triangles but they are four and each section so do you cut each section into 12 pieces
Just cut the entire roll into 12 pieces. No need to separate any sections. :)
What are crescents I’m from Australia
Crescent rolls are small croissants. Pillsbury makes them. They are in the store by the canned biscuits. Hope this helps.
Donna, I’m an Australian living in the US and I don’t know of a product to use as a substitute. I know when family visit me from Australia they have never seen anything like the Pilsbury products we have over here.
You can also take frozen dough and thaw and cut in to small pieces and do the same with them.
im from Aussie too and ive looked this up before and
just use puff or short crust pastry would do the same Norrie
Aussies…
Can you post the recipe for puff or short crust pastry??? I’m in the US but can’t use there pre-made items do to the colors they add to the product.
Thanks in advance.
Peppridge Farm Puff Pastry…..no artificial color! https://www.campbellsfoodservice.com/product/pepperidge-farm-frozen-puff-pastry-sheets-10-x-15/
Send me an Australian man lol. Ill cook some Alabama meal. I hear Australian men are good honest and faithful. Is it true. And the pie is delicious
Whenever a cashier at a grocery store asks me if I found everything okay, I always say, I’m still looking for the aisle with the rich, good looking, straight men who will adore me.
this sounds amazing! but how many ounces is the can of pie filling?
I can’t believe I missed that! Thank you, I’ve added it to the recipe! It was 21 oz.
I am baking it as I type…… I added additional fresh sliced apple along with Irish butter, cinnamon and fresh grated nutmeg…..if the taste is anything like the smell it will be heaven. I also am baking it for 40 minutes. Thank you sooooo much for this recipe!
14 ounces.
