Ingredients
  

1 large apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until coated evenly. Set aside.

      Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface. Pinch the seams together to create a single rectangular sheet.

        Add Filling: Brush the melted butter over the dough rectangle. Evenly spread the cinnamon apple mixture across the dough. If using nuts, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the top.

          Roll Up: Starting at one long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal and slice into 8 equal pieces.

            Bake: Place the rolled-up pieces on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and the apples are tender.

              Prepare the Glaze: While the roll-ups are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-able.

                Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm roll-ups before serving. Enjoy your delicious Apple Cinnamon Roll-Ups!
