Instructions:
Step 1: Prep & Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles. Arrange them in a circle on a baking sheet, pointed ends out, overlapping slightly.
Step 2: Creamy Filling
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Ring
Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the wide ends of the crescent dough, forming a ring. Top with apple slices.
Step 4: Bake & Drizzle
Fold the pointed ends over the filling, tucking them under. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce once cooled slightly.
Variations:
- Nutty Delight: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Spiced Twist: Incorporate nutmeg or pumpkin spice for an autumnal flair.
- Chocolate Indulgence: Drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra decadent treat.
Keto Version:
Use keto-friendly almond flour dough, sugar-free caramel sauce, and a keto-friendly sweetener (like Stevia or Erythritol) in place of granulated sugar.
FAQ:
- Can I make this ahead? Yes! Assemble it a few hours early and refrigerate. Add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
