SPICY APPLE CRESCENTS by Barbara Vosburgh

     1/2 cup sugar

     1 teaspoon cinnamon

     2 large apples, pared

     1 can (8 oz.) Pillsbury Refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls

     1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

     1/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Cut each apple into 8 wedges and remove the section of core from each.

Separate dough into 8 triangles; cut each in half lengthwise, making 16 long, thin triangles.

Wrap each triangle around an apple wedge, starting at the wide end.

Arrange in a 9" square pan; drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture and add water.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

Serve warm with whipped cream.                       

4 servings

Note: The recipe suggests 4 crescents per serving but I find that in most cases 3 crescents are sufficient, especially if used as a dessert following a full meal.
