Super Easy Cinnamon Crescents Recipe

I usually have an endless supply of cinnamon rolls in my fridge. 聽Last week my kids were begging for cinnamon rolls for breakfast so I preheated the stove and went to the fridge to get the can. That’s when I realized it was a can of crescent rolls, not cinnamon rolls! 聽So, I decided to try to make my own!

Cinnamon Crescents

I’m sure this recipe has been invented at some point, so I am not taking credit for the idea. 聽I have tried other recipes where I rolled different things into crescents like hotdogs, ham and cheese, cream cheese and chicken. 聽This was the first dessert/breakfast I have made with them. 聽So here is the simple recipe!

First make cinnamon sugar with 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon and 1/2 Cup Sugar. 聽Then melt 1/4 Cup butter,聽margarine, or spread.

Open the crescents and brush with melted butter. 聽Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over butter. 聽Roll up crescents and repeat. (more butter and more cinnamon sugar)

Bake at 375 for 9 minutes. 聽Easy right? 聽They are so flaky and delicious! 聽I have thought of a few variations since then. 聽You can drizzle with frosting or chocolate, fill with cut up apples, mix cream cheese in with the cinnamon sugar, or even serve with Tabasco sauce like my 8-year-old! 聽(I take no聽responsibility聽for the Tabasco Sauce outcome)

If you have any other ideas for variations please feel free to comment! 聽I am going to try to post one super-easy recipe a week! 聽I am actually a pretty good cook, but most of my聽creations聽don’t have measurements so they would be a lot more complicated! 聽Easy recipes are my favorite 馃檪
