Apple Pie Twists
A delicious Fall or Holiday treat using crescent roll dough sheets and apple pie filling. As a bonus I make a very simple and yummy caramel sauce made in 5 minutes.

- 2 (8oz tubes) refrigerated crescent roll dough sheets
- 1 (21oz can) apple pie filling
- 2 TBS butter, melted
- 1 TBS white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
Spread out 1 tube of crescent roll dough on a large prepared sheet pan.
Place canned pie filling into food processor and blend until pureed. Spread pie filling onto crescent dough sheet.
Spread the 2nd tube of crescent roll dough on top of the apple pie filling covered bottom dough sheet evenly.
Using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut dough in half. Cut each half in to halves and so on until you get 24 thin strips. (NOTE: apple filling will spill out some what, but that's ok.
Twist each strip half way, then twist from other side to meet in middle. I move 1/3 of the strips to another prepared sheet pan to make room for the twists to rise while baking.
In a small bowl mix together melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Brush mixture on the tops of the twists.
Bake in 375 degree preheated oven for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown and twists are cooked through. Allow to cool
Caramel Sauce
Combine caramel sauce ingredients (butter, brown sugar, and milk) in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts and mixture comes to a boil. Stir an additional 1-2 minutes until sugars have melted and mixture has thickened.
