Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce crescent dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons flour use to flour your rolling surface if needed
- 2 medium apples, chopped gala or a sweeter apple

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- In medium bowl, combine chopped apples, raisins and cranberries.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over the fruit mixture and toss lightly. Set aside.
- Unroll crescent dough and set inside a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Spoon fruit mixture down the center of the dough approximately 2-inches wide. Sprinkle cinnamon lightly over the fruit. (If your baking pan is a bit larger than the dough once it is unrolled, use 2 tablespoons of flour to prepare a flat surface and gently roll the dough to fit into your pan.)
- Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut slits into the dough on each side of the fruit 3/4-inches wide.
- Carefully begin folding strips over the fruit, criss crossing the dough like a braid. When you reach the end, fold the ends over and seal with fingers.
- Melt butter and brush the top of the crescent braid.
- Bake for 30 minutes being careful that the top does not burn.
- Cut and serve warm or cold.

Where is the 2 tablespoons of flour used? Did I miss something?
Hi Mabrey,
Thanks for pointing that out. You will use the flour only if you need to prepare a flat surface to roll out your dough a bit to fit into your pan. Since many of us use different size baking pans, I wanted to include that option but forgot to add that detail to the instructions. Good catch! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
