Ingredients

2
package Big and Flaky Crescent dinner rolls
3
large NC cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped (we used Braeburn)
2
Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2
cup brown sugar
1/4
cup butter
1/4
cup light Karo syrup
2
Tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Combine apples, flour, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Cook 3 minutes.  Reduce heat to medium low; cook 10 minutes; stirring constantly, until thick.  Stir in cinnamon.  Cool completely.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Unroll crescent rolls. Arrange triangles in a circle on a pizza pan, baking stone or baking sheet lined with non-stick aluminum foil with the points facing out and the triangles overlapping at the center (center of ring should be about 5” in diameter). You may not use all of the crescent rolls, probably 1 ½ cans. Spread evenly with apple cinnamon filling over the widest part of the dough. Bring points of triangles up over the filling and tuck under the wide end of the dough at center of ring (filling will not be completely covered).  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
