Apple Crescent Puffs

This is a tried and true recipe I made from a recipe from a lady online called Aunt Bea.  Its a winner!  The photo below is mine but of course the recipe is hers.  This is sooo good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added on the side. I take alot of my photos just as they come out of the oven or out of the pan.  Nothing fancy about this old girl Shirley!






Ingredients

1 can(s) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 lg granny smith apples
1 stk butter or margarine
1 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 c water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
cinnamon (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350. Peel, core and remove seeds from apples. Cut each apple into fourths. You will have 8 apple quarters.
2
Seperate each crescent triangle and place into a deep baking dish. Place and apple quarter in the center of each crescent. Wrap crescent roll around the apple slice.
3
In a saucepan bring to a boil the butter, sugar and water. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over the apples and bake uncovered @ 350 for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
4
Note: you may add cinnamom to the butter, sugar & water or you may sprinkle cinnamon on top once baked. It's your choice.
5
Leftovers are good when heated up in the oven, toaster oven or microwave.

TIP: I have doubled the recipe when I had several apples that I needed to cook. I just put a can of crescent rolls in the bottom of the dish, put several sliced apples on that and another can of crescent rolls on top. I then poured the boiled mixture over that and baked until golden brown. It's very good that way, too. And I have certainly used other apples besides the granny smith. Also, I have used half granulated sugar and half brown sugar. Sometimes I omit the vanilla. They're good any way you make them.
