Saturdays are for snacking

I figured tomorrow would be a day full of food...so why not start early?  I was craving some apple pie or apple something, so ran out to Walmart before the snow storm so I had something to do- not that I NEEDED more food to shove in my fridge-but made some easy snacks I'm going to share with you now:

Crescent Rolls- 2 ways!


Apple rollers

Ingredients-
-crescent rolls-the refrigerated Pillsbury ones (or cheapo brands)
-apple pie filling
-cinnamon & sugar
-white/vanilla frosting
-melted butter

Directions-
I pretty much experimented, here are the two ways I tried them:
For both-
preheat oven to 375 degrees, I lined a cookie sheet with some tin foil, unroll the crescent rolls, and I chopped the apple pie filling up some- the brand I got came in big slices of apple so I diced them up

type 1: spread a dab of vanilla frosting on the wide end of the crescent roll, put a spoon of apple on, and sprinkle some cinnamon on top, then roll up & place on pan.  spread some melted butter on top & sprinkle a little cinnamon/sugar mix on.

type 2: brush some melted butter on the crescent roll & sprinkle some cinnamon/sugar mix on, put a dab of apple on, then roll up and place on pan.  Brush outside with butter & cover with cinnamon/sugar.

Bake these for about 10 minutes- then you can put some frosting on top so it melts up nice. mmmm these were good! 

I liked the ones with the dab of frosting within the roll, but since it melts they are harder to get off of the pan- but it provided a nice sweetness within the roll.  both were delish though!  def fed my apple craving!












Pizza Rollers

Ingredients:
-crescent rolls (as above)
-pizza sauce
-shredded cheese
-finely grated parmesan cheese
-pizza/italian seasoning-I use McCormick's Sicilian seasoning
-melted butter
-any pizza toppings you'd like (ie pepperoni!!)

Directions:
I made these two ways too, just experimenting
for both:
preheat oven to 375, lined the cookie pan with tin foil, & unroll crescents

type 1:
-put a little sauce on the wide end of the roll, then sprinkle some italian seasoning, and top with cheese & any other pizza toppings.  Roll the crescent up, place on pan.  Brush on a little melted butter & sprinkle the seasoning on top along with the finely grated parmesan cheese (like the powder-looking one)

type 2:
-spread some melted butter on the crescent roll, and sprinkle seasoning on.  Put a handful of cheese on & roll crescent. Place on pan, and brush on butter, and sprinkle with parmesan.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, & dip in some pizza sauce!  I think the ones with the sauce inside were better, but both were tasty & a nice snack!

              Make both the pizza & apple ones for lunch w/ dessert- that's what I did :)  Just don't tell my mom I left out my serving of veggies
