COUNTRY FRENCH APPLE CRESCENT CASSEROLE



This recipe is a favorite going back to the 90's.  I can
almost make it from memory. It's a Pillsbury Crescent
Roll favorite. It's great for breakfast, as a brunch item,
or for dessert. Easy and quick.
Ingredients:

1 8oz. can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 large apple, peeled and cored, cut into 8 pieces
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

For the sauce:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1Tbsp. almond extract or Amaretto
1egg

1/2 cup sliced almonds
Cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
You will need an ungreased 9 inch round pie dish

In a small bowl combine the 2Tbsp. sugar and 1tsp. cinnamon
blend well.
Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles, sprinkle the
sugar mixture evenly over each one and gently press the
sugar into each triangle, flattening slightly.
Place 1 apple slice on the wide end of the triangle. 
Roll up, starting from the wide end and tuck in the
edges around the apple slice. Seal all seams.
Place, tip-side down in the pie dish.
There will be 7 roll-ups around the edges and 1 in 
the center.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden in color.

In another bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar, whipping
cream, almond extract, and egg…using a wire whisk
until well blended.
Spoon sauce evenly over the partially baked rolls.
Sprinkle with the almonds and cinnamon.
Back to the oven and bake an additional 13 to 15
minutes or until a deep golden brown.
Cover top of pan with foil during last 5 minutes of
baking to prevent excessive browning.

Serve warm
great with fresh whipped cream or ice cream
