To make this recipe you will need apple wedges. I recommend using an apple corer/wedge cutter as this will make the wedges into a uniform size while easily removing the core.
More tips for you
- Tart apples that can hold up to baking work best in this recipe. Granny Smith apples work best.
- If you have trouble sealing up the dough after rolling it up, simply add a small amount of water using your fingertips. This will help the dough stick together better.
- Leftover apple pie crescent rolls should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. If properly stored, they should keep for about five days.

How to make this Apple Pie Crescent Roll Recipe.
Yield: 8 rolls.
Prep time: 5 minutes.
Bake Time: 20 minutes.
Step One: prepare.
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prepare a baking dish or baking sheet for nonstick. A baking mat or parchment paper work well in this recipe if you are using a baking sheet.
- Remove the skin from the apple and slice (eight evenly sized wedges) and remove the core it.
- Place the apples in a bowl with cold water.
- Unroll the dough on a clean work area and carefully use a knife to separate the dough into triangles, cutting along the lines that are already there.
Expert Tip 👉 Soaking the apples in cold water helps to keep the apple slices from turning brown. You can also add a teaspoon of lemon juice, however this can affect the flavor of the rolls.
Step Two: make the filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture seems pasty.
- Use a butter knife to spread the filling on to each of the roll triangles to about ¼-1/2" on the edges.
- Place an apple wedge on the opposite side of the triangle from the point (not the even sides or the pointy side) so that the apples backside is about a half an inch from the edge of the dough).
- Wrap the end closest to backside of the apple wedge around the apple wedge and continue to to roll the apple wedge and dough until you hit the point end.
- Place the rolled up crescent on the prepared baking sheet or baking dish and continue until all of the wedges have been rolled up in crescent roll dough.
Step Three: finish making the roll ups.
- To make the topping, in a saucepan on medium-low heat, melt the butter. When the butter has melted whisk in the brown sugar and flour and then whisk the ingredients until dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully use a pastry brush to brush the mixture over the roll ups. You can pour any remaining topping over the roll ups.
- Lastly, bake the roll ups for 20-25 minutes until it becomes bubbly and the rolls turn golden brown. Note that baking times can vary depending on what you are baking your roll ups in.
