- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This combination will give your rolls a delicious balance.
- Uniform Slices: Ensure that your apple slices are about 1/4-inch thick for even cooking. This will help them soften perfectly without becoming mushy.
- Don’t Skimp on the Caramel: Generously drizzle the caramel sauce over the baked rolls while they’re still warm for a gooey, decadent finish.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra layer of flavor that complements the apples beautifully.
- Serve with Ice Cream: For a truly indulgent treat, serve your caramel apple pie crescent rolls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side—it's a match made in dessert heaven!
